Monica Lafuente - SPAIN

Mónica Lafuente is a visionary entrepreneur and a passionate advocate for sustainable and organic design. In 2013, she founded Let's Pause in Barcelona with the purpose to create contemporary design with organic elements and traditional artisan techniques. The initial product range of Let's Pause included furniture, decor accessories, and lighting, but over the years, the focus shifted towards crafting handmade lighting pieces using organic materials.

Before venturing into the creation of Let's Pause, Mónica's journey in the design industry began in 1999 when she established SmartDeco, a press agency specializing in design and decoration. Her active involvement in communicating these themes through SmartDeco laid the foundation for her extensive experience in the creative realm.

At Let's Pause, the concept of reusing takes on new meaning, going beyond environmental consciousness to breathe new life into elements discarded by nature, which are transforemed into contemporary design pieces. The commitment of Let's Pause extends beyond the materials; it revolves around respecting the rhythms of nature and the artisans involved. Adapting to their time frames, reconciling deadlines with quality, and preserving age-old techniques are integral aspects of the brand's approach. Embracing imperfections, Let's Pause values the beauty of handcrafted designs that connect with interiors, porches, and terraces worldwide, preserving and reviving lost traditions.
