Alicia was born in Paris and grew up between the French capital and Biarritz before training as an Interior Architect in Bordeaux and Madrid. Alba, after an initial career in finance, discovered her true vocation in design. Their bond with France has kept Paris as an endless source of inspiration, where the sophistication of French design, its attention to detail, and its balance between classicism and modernity have deeply influenced their creative vision.

In 2010, they founded Cousi Interiorismo —today Hurlé & Martín— and developed a distinctive aesthetic that bridges past and present to create new stylistic references. Their work has transformed the Spanish gastronomic scene, redefining the relationship between design and hospitality and bringing culinary spaces in Spain to the level of Europe’s great capitals.

Alba and Alicia design interiors with a clear identity, balancing elegance and functionality, and going beyond the obvious with subtle references and connections. Their projects combine imagination, proportion, and a unique sensitivity to materials and color. Each one is an exercise in sophisticated eclecticism, where textures are explored and craftsmanship is reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.
