The versatile interior design studio Madrid in Love is behind this luminous space located in the neighborhood of Las Salesas in Madrid. Dray Martina is a place to eat and drink within an informal and relaxed atmosphere, where white colour and raw wood are the leading features.

Dray Martina has two spacious rooms, where wood with different finishes and textures is the predominant material. Some walls are lined in recovered wood from demolitions whilst others and even the floor are covered in off-white wooden boards, creating this way a mix of warmth and coziness.

The pieces of furniture chosen by Madrid in Love provides a note of diversity and surprise to the project: chairs in leather, wicker or upholstered are mixed with tables from different styles and origins.

Same criteria has been used to solve artificial lighting. Sophisticated lamps of the most current design like Vertigo by Constance Guisset are combined with wicker baskets turned into lampshades or light fixtures from the 70s. They fit nicely with the generous natural lighting enhancing the venue together with the natural flowers and plants throughout the place.
