WABI SABI SPACE
Munarq's new office in Palma emerges from a concept rooted in the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi—a celebration of imperfection, impermanence, and the quiet beauty found in natural aging. In this space, materials are allowed to express their essence as they evolve over time.
We embrace the cracks, the irregularities, and the raw textures that reveal the history and transformation of every surface.
Monterrey 50B is designed as a place of calm and contemplation—a space for creating with intention. At its entrance, a gentle threshold is formed by a planted buffer that connects the street to the studio, evoking the spirit of Palma’s traditional patios.
This is not just an office—it is a reflection of our values: authenticity, material honesty, and the beauty of time’s passage.
The kitchen is conceived as a minimal and intentional space, offering specialty coffee in an atmosphere of simplicity. It serves as a communal corner, modest yet refined, where conversation and rest can unfold naturally.
In this studio, materials are not concealed or idealized—they are left to breathe, to shift, to patinate. Cracks, crevices, and weathered surfaces are not flaws, but markers of time and life
