In 2007 Amaro opened his studio in Seville, where he develops a wide range of residential, commercial and ephemeral interior design projects. A true world citizen, Amaro has worked internationally in a variety of cities, such as Paris, Saint-Tropez, Venice, Lisbon, Madrid, and Seville.
“My individual signature is precision, from concept development to technical drawing and execution. Artistic excellence is paramount. Most importantly, I feel comfortable and adroit with all types of clients and architectures, from a luxurious baroque palace to a casual pied-à-terre on the coast”.
The common denominator among all his projects is attention to detail and expertise. Through a silent dialogue with architecture and continuous
consultation with the client, Amaro comes up with the perfect solution for each project, without any style imperative. The end result not only reflects the individual personality of the owner, but it also transcends time and ultimately expresses the essence of the present moment.

The house belonged to the late designer Pedro Espírito Santo. By his words “I was not looking for a flat, but this one found me. No one else would have wanted 11 rooms with no proper bedroom and only a tiny bath.”
The home may have lacked certain amenities but it was rich in character, the enfilade of reception rooms embellished with intricate frescoes of floral garlands and Vitruvian scrolls in palest pink. Modern comforts were swiftly installed. An English cast-iron tub now takes up a corner of a chamber swaged with ravishing trompe l’oeil draperies, while a shower has been slotted into a narrow service corridor.
When close friends, such as Valentino brand ambassador Carlos Souza or the actress and model Marisa Berenson, were going to visit, the designer closed off three connecting salons to form a cozy suite.
Given Espírito Santo’s reputation as a consummate host, the heart of the dwelling is the dining room. It is here that Espírito Santo presided over convivial dinners that were the talk of the town (as well as a feast for the eyes), his guests seated around a stately mahogany pedestal table in a motley mix of Victorian side chairs and Louis XVI–style bergères. Hefty heirloom silverware and vintage linen napkins that measure more than three feet square hark back to a more ceremonial age, as does the flattering glow of candles the designer prefers to the glare of electricity. Souza admiringly recalls a table set with Chinese plates and vases of different types—famille rose, café au lait, blue with white—that bear witness to the Espírito Santo clan’s decades of collecting. Stunned by the dining room’s romantic atmosphere, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg once declared, “Oh, Pedro, it’s so divine it’s almost Russian.”

The house has about a thousand square meters and has been decorated by Natela Mankaeva. She attracted three antique dealers to the project – two Russian and one from France, and they managed to find some really interesting things. For example, the carved baroque portal. His original purpose is unknown, but Natela made a frame for the window in the small living room. In the large living room, a ceremonial buffet suitable for its size appeared. According to Natela, most often in the antique market there are relatively compact cupboards, and the largest examples are usually wardrobe cases. The fate of this item is unknown, but in the living room, he stood up like a native.
Part of the chandeliers was purchased from the French company Mathieu Lustrerie, which not only replicas antique lamps, but also, for example, restores chandeliers at Versailles, Opera Garnier and Comedie Francaise.

The New York Miles Redd decorator is renowned for his extravagant style and deep knowledge of the works of his predecessors, such as the British Nancy Lancaster and Mrs Guy Bethell, whose interiors were hard-tuned by his customers, hoping to find something similar.
The owners of this house are a couple with four children, but, despite their youth, they like old-fashioned (in the best sense of the word) interiors.
