WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Roberto Nieves, Founder, Castiglione

“Right around a year ago I had the pleasure of meeting Mika Kanayama the Founder and Director of Muzo.

The brief for a specialty espresso bar was to integrate a collection of loves that included the work of a visionary movie director - Kubrick - an admired artist known as the 'master of light' - Turrell - along with elements of retro-futurism and neo-classical Italian design.

Mika wove all of these pieces together with thought, consideration and attention.

Jeremy Deacon and his A-Team - Wataru, Sam, Saint - along with an armada of A/V and lighting specialists also helped bring Castiglione to life.

A very big thanks to Mika, Jeremy and the extended team for transforming disparate dreams into a cohesive reality."
