Each of these questions can lead us directly to Influenza Espais, a design studio that aims to guide us along the path to well-being, happiness and success. Understanding what you need and detecting exactly what you want for your home or business is the key element to achieve a custom-made design. Our exciting experimental design connects everything, both objectively and subjectively. The end result comes both from the proper selection of techniques and locally sourced, environmentally respectful materials, as well as from the guidance and detailed discussions throughout the stages of the process.

Understanding clients and their needs

“What do you hope to achieve with Influenza?” That’s one of the questions that allow Mercè and Pau de las Heras to get the ball rolling. These two siblings, who boast more than 25 years of experience in interior design, are continuously learning and researching to address their clients concerns and needs. Because they know that designing interiors may be simple, but creating a home is a whole different thing. 

Specialized in comprehensive projects, Influenza is perfect for people who want to imprint their essence on the place they live. The studio is ideal for people who value order and well-defined spaces that provide a sense of well-being. In short, Influenza is perfect for people who want to turn a simple dwelling into a home. How do you want to feel when you get home? Influenza will help make it happen. 

The same principle applies for companies. Based on their needs, Influenza offers a strategic interior design proposal that seeks to balance functionality and aesthetics, always tailoring the design to users in order to improve efficiency and optimize the investment at the same time. How do you want your clients to feel? Influenza will help you achieve it.

A real commitment to the environment 

Influenza is an artisanal interior design studio that offers dedication, passion, exclusivity and commitment. The studio puts people at the center and will guide you through all the stages of the design process. Influenza strives to minimize its environmental impact by choosing locally sourced natural materials, recovering ancestral techniques and hiring the right professionals from the area, always seeking to spur the local economy. The use of long-lasting locally sourced elements like lime and wood, along with transforming and giving a second life to the existing elements are the hallmarks of Influenza. Their firm commitment to the environment also improves people’s physical and emotional health.

In short, they work diligently and meticulously on designing interiors, placing the focus firmly on people, as well as their feelings and emotions. For Influenza what you see is very important, but even more so is how you feel.
