Nathalie Küpfer Henares
Founder, Creative Director
PORTORO Interior Studio | Manila
A former practitioner in the fields of international branding and marketing, Nathalie is clued in on what would make spaces distinctive and unique through different accents sourced from all over the globe.
The various products she has designed reflect a unique mix of Eastern and Western influences brought together by classic craftsmanship. Her keen understanding of different cultures within Western Europe has helped her build a rapport with some of the continent’s finest artisans and designers enabling her to create stylish yet surprisingly timeless accents and objets d’art.
Having lived and worked abroad on different continents gave her the opportunity to appreciate the materials and processes involved in creating exquisite items which can be seen in her work for PORTORO Interior.
Ever a tireless traveler, she is always on the lookout for beautiful things. Living in the midst of so many different cultures has shaped her belief that the elegance of an interior is similar to fashion: the accessories may add character, but true elegance can be perceived and appreciated through simplicity and understatement.
Andrea K. Colonna di Paliano
Brand Curator, Senior Consultant
PORTORO Interior Studio | Milan
With two decades of experience in the field of corporate communication, Andrea takes charge of branding and strategic communication for PORTORO.
Her work has enabled her to engage closely with companies in Switzerland, Italy, and Germany, adding a touch of European sophistication to what she does for the company.
Though she was born in Switzerland and has lived in different places around the world, Andrea considers herself Italian at heart and has a great love for her adopted homeland and its culture.
She often travels throughout Italy to experience and enjoy its diverse traditions and unique beauty.
Andrea loves time away in nature with her family and her Cocker Spaniel Oliva, as she considers connecting with nature fundamental for a fulfilled, healthy and energized way of living.
Roseleen Santos
Interior Designer
PORTORO Interior Studio | Manila
A design practitioner by profession, Rose is a graduate from the Philippine School of Interior Design. Having cultivated a keen sense of creativity throughout her childhood was what directed her into taking a career path into design, and this was further bolstered over the years by an ability to know people’s likes and tastes, something which has enabled her to create unique spaces.
A previous stint with lifestyle company Living Innovations also gave her good exposure to and working knowledge of global furniture and accent brands like Minotti, Knoll, Meridiani, and Louis Poulsen.
Marga Manlapig
Senior PR Consultant
PORTORO Interior Studio | Manila
A longtime PR practitioner, Marga got into lifestyle journalism in 2016, writing for the travel, dining, and design beats.
Long before that, however, going to job sites with her architect father and interior designer mother while she was growing up gave her practical knowledge of the industry – something that has added heft and authority to her writing.
Travel has also shaped the way she looks at the world, though her own personal interests lean more towards Asian culture and design. Her work has appeared in Tatler Philippines, Philippine Star's weekly Property Report, and online via CNN Life.
