This week’s featured professional is Marga Rotger, interior designer and director of Marga Rotger Interiorisme. We set aside some time to explore her work on the Son March project and to discover her creative essence as a designer. Her motto: “Well-executed work stands the test of time.”

Marga began her career in various studios and interior design firms. After several years of experience—and a few achievements along the way—she decided to open her own studio at the age of 30. Since then, she has left her signature style on countless projects, starting with smaller commissions and gradually moving towards larger and more ambitious ones. In recent years, she has even taken on and completed major hotel projects.

When we ask her what she enjoys most about her work, her answer is clear: “Creating an emotional response in the client when they see the final result is the greatest reward.”

Which architect or interior designer, as a global reference, would you like to collaborate with?

Patricia Urquiola.

If you were a lamp, you would be…

The “Cesta” by Miguel Milà. It’s a classic that has endured over the years. That’s how I like my work to be—timeless—and to achieve that, it has to be done very well.

Tell us a bit about the interior design and lighting project at Son March:

The company Fruites i Verdures Son March was founded more than 40 years ago and specializes in fruit and vegetable distribution for the hospitality industry. A few years ago, they opened their first shop for local customers. As the business grew, they moved into new premises—a large warehouse at the entrance to Sa Pobla—where they decided to open a second shop with more than 300 m² of retail space.

When I was entrusted with the project, I wanted to convey a more modern and innovative image, avoiding stereotypes while making a subtle reference to tradition and rural life, paying close attention to each small detail, which ultimately becomes the true protagonist of the project.

The concept is bold and contemporary, designed to surprise customers. It’s a nod to the past but with a very modern vision, using materials and textures that recall agricultural work, reclaiming and celebrating them.

This is why we chose hexagonal tiles reminiscent of a honeycomb, handmade terracotta tiles, a wall texture inspired by cultivated soil, Mallorcan ikat fabrics for the awnings, wooden ladders like those used for fig picking… all within a very modern space. The predominant colour of the shop is mustard yellow, a tribute to the extraordinary sunlight we enjoy in Mallorca.

What was the main goal of the redesign?

To bring together tradition and sustainability through an innovative and functional approach that highlights the product.

Any anecdote you can share?

I managed to convince the clients to install a motorized tricycle—a “Vespacar”—at the entrance as a striking feature. I wanted an element that would immediately catch the customer’s attention. At first, they were hesitant, but eventually they loved the idea. We spent months searching until we found a very old one. It had to be fully restored, as it was in poor condition.

How was your collaboration with WorldLight?

Having their support was essential. In the case of the greengrocer’s, each area needed to be lit with a different light intensity and colour temperature to enhance and elevate the displayed products. Their guidance and expertise are clearly reflected in the final result. I shared my ideas with them and they understood them perfectly. Their technical support and experience in lighting design were crucial to bringing this project to life.

Why would you recommend WorldLight to other professionals?

For their advice and technical expertise. A well-lit interior design project becomes more valuable, transmitting special sensations. In my work, lighting is always crucial to creating that emotional impact for the client, and for that, having a reliable team to guide me is essential.
