"Authoritative diversity exemplifies the spirited rooms of New York City interior designer Juan Montoya, a native of Colombia who launched his own business 34 years ago. In his powerful work\u2014always characterized by compelling juxtapositions\u2014bold shapes are hybridized with opulent textures to produce unforgettable red-blooded environments. A satiny Art Deco\u2013style cabinet might be placed against a rugged stone wall at a country house, for example, while an entrance hall's neoclassical-inspired paneling is extravagantly silvered from ceiling to floor. Montoya has also inventively channeled 1930s Donald Deskey glamour from time to time, framing high-rise windows with exotic bas-reliefs and paving floors with mirror-polished stretches of inlaid polychrome marble. juanmontoyadesign.com\n\nMeet the other architects and designers on the 2012 AD100 list."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
