The AIR SUPPLY Experts’ Guide to the Holidays

Good Cheer and Taste with Mafalda Muñoz and Gonzalo Machado

The Spanish couple preside over the Casa Muñoz interior-design studio and the design gallery Machado-Muñoz, both in Madrid. Their holidays are scented with quince, set with silver, and spent eating Roscón de Reyes from La Duquesita, preferably in Anderson & Sheppard robes.
