Ten artistic girls from round Spain joined Paula at her Christmas desk. This yr, the luncheon was impressed by the thoughtfully designed Casa Manuela by architect Juan Bengoa, the place gradual mediterranean dwelling meets sustainable luxurious.

As quickly as you step foot into Casa Manuela, time slows down. You slip off your sneakers and really feel the coolness beneath your toes as you stream from house to house. There are not any strains, no corners, simply tender curves easing you into a brand new setting. Every house is open and luminous, embracing Andalusia’s mild and proximity to the ocean.

Every place setting was handcrafted by a neighborhood ceramist within the form of shells, with the title of every visitor indented into them so the friends may maintain their customized element. The artisanal candle holders dripped creamy wax and pearls, casting a golden mild on the fragile glassware. Monochromatic florals sprawled throughout the desk amidst tulle materials, taking over the form of water.
