Who we are

In 2007 we moved to Inca, Mallorca and started this project that we call “Can Monroig” dedicated to sustainable restoration and interior design in old houses. But our origins are in an antique shop on Montenegro Street in Palma de Mallorca, where we bought some old radios with the intention of restoring them and then reselling them, back in 1993. A few years later we opened a textile workshop in Sineu, a restoration workshop in LLubí and in 1997 a decoration shop in Pollensa, “Pollentia Decoración”, a reference shop for more than ten years, with which we introduced furniture and doors of French and Aragonese origin with original polychromes to Mallorca; specializing in 18th century furniture and recovered architectural materials.

In 2007 we moved to Inca, Mallorca and started this project that we called “Can Monroig” dedicated to sustainable restoration and interior design in old houses.

But our origins They are in an antique shop on Montenegro Street in Palma de Mallorca, where we bought some old radios with the intention of restoring them and then reselling them, back in 1993. In the 10 years that we lived and worked in Pollensa we learned to know antiques or recovered materials. Our passion for patinas and old buildings led us to work with sustainable materials such as natural paints, lime mortars, earth and clay; to create furniture with noble woods or customize others; work in decorative painting using almost forgotten ancient techniques, and ultimately, to develop a personal taste and passion for decoration and traditional architecture. Many of you will ask yourselves: What is Can Monroig? Can Monroig is first of all a beautiful house with Gothic origins and remains of what could have been the old Jewish quarter of Inca; it is both our home and studio or showroom where we also organize cultural and artistic events. But above all, Can Monroig is the flagship of our sustainable restoration and creative decoration project.

We formed Can Monroig Marie-Noëlle Ginard and Robert López Hinton cWith more than 20 years behind us, making mistakes, learning, experimenting, taking risks, eternally dissatisfied, cultural agitators (as a friend recently told us, “what more could we want?” I say), fighting to recover a beauty that few people know about, that almost no one understands.
