Zendo Concept

About Zendo Concept

Zendo Concept is a Seville-based interior design studio founded by Celia López Pavía, a bilingual Spanish and English designer specialising in bespoke residential projects for local and international clients. Celia’s background is not a conventional one for a designer — she studied Advertising at the University of Seville, but it was the search for her own creative language that led her to interior design. She completed two specialist master’s degrees and worked in the sector for several years before founding Zendo Concept with a clear purpose: to design spaces that feel like art, not trend-chasing.

 

The studio’s philosophy is built around timelessness over fashion. Zendo are not interested in what is popular right now. They are interested in what will still feel considered and personal in twenty years. Their aesthetic draws on the tension between old and new, bold and restrained, coordinated rather than merely matched, which results in spaces that feel genuinely individual rather than assembled from a mood board. Every project is handled with close personal involvement from Celia herself, from the initial consultation through to the final installation.

 

For English-speaking expats and international buyers in Seville, Zendo Concept is one of the very few interior design studios in the city that can offer a fully bilingual service. Celia works entirely in English with international clients, and the studio has specific experience designing for foreign residents and buyers who want a Seville home that feels right rather than just photogenic. A free initial consultation is available to discuss your project with no commitment required.

Common Questions About Zendo Concept

Yes. Founder and lead designer Celia López is fluent in both Spanish and English and has extensive experience working with international clients. All consultations, presentations, and project communication can be conducted entirely in English.

Yes. The online service is specifically designed for clients who are not in Seville or Spain. The full design process is managed remotely via video call, and Zendo can coordinate installation for properties in southern Spain and Portugal. For clients further afield, the design and specification work can be delivered remotely regardless of location.

The key distinction is whether your space requires any building or structural work. If you need to furnish a space, redecorate, or refresh a home without touching walls or structure, the decoration service is the right fit. If you need to change the layout, replace materials, or renovate, the full interior design project is the appropriate service.

It depends on the scale and complexity of the project. Zendo recommend starting at least six months before your target completion date. Smaller decoration projects can move faster, but full interiorismo projects often run from five months to over a year once design, material sourcing, and installation are factored in. Lead times on furniture and materials can be significant, so starting early always pays off.

Yes. Zendo offer a free first consultation to understand your space, your brief, and whether the project is a good fit. There is no obligation to proceed. Contact them via the contact form and you’ll hear back from Celia in less than 24 hours.
