There is only one working desk in Miguel Rosales’ office as the artworks and fixtures suggest the need to think beyond the usual. As an interior designer and a conceptual consultant, he’s welcomed the countries’ top businessmen, fellow designers, and other luminaries of the art and business industry into his world where calm meets chaos. His office is a place for other people to draw their own vision. Every piece is made to provoke creative thought and to look at things differently.

In his office, there is a Tom Epperson’s smoke photograph among unframed canvasses leaning against the wall, an embroidery piece by Geraldine Javier that says “250 Ways to Prepare Meat,” and a nesting doll painted as Russian Tsar Nicholas II and his family. “We want to show variety. These are more project pieces that we offer to designers who walk in and need a piece to complete a project.” Like his own working quarters that houses framed art hung on walls, and features a dedicated section of furniture to accentuate the art.
