Decoraciones EGEA is a Mallorcan company specialized in furniture and textile decoration, a company that develops projects around the world with the same premise, to give each of its customers a unique and exclusive treatment. This is the first thing Manuel Egea, founder of the company, learned as soon as he set foot in Mallorca.
It was the 60's, the Balearic Islands were awakening to tourism and to the opportunities of those families who were looking for a more prosperous future. It was under these conditions that Manuel Egea arrived in Mallorca from a small town in Granada. When he was just eight years old, his family moved to the island to work in the construction industry. His mother, a visionary, decided that her son should learn a different trade, a trade in which human contact and personal relationships prevailed, but also a job that required an emphasis on detail. This is how that boy, at the age of 12, began his apprenticeship in the world of dressmaking.
The days were long for Manuel, in the morning he learned the trade, in the afternoons he worked in a tailor's shop and in the evenings he completed his secondary school studies at the Ramón Llull secondary school in Palma de Mallorca. The effort, dedication and responsibility to get the best out of himself were marking the personality of this boy who was growing up until fate placed him in Fuerteventura to perform military service. From the other island, far away from his family, he gave shape to that entrepreneurial instinct that he carried inside him and that, however, he had not yet been able to develop. Manuel bought a sewing machine with which he wove uniforms for the soldiers of the Legion, laying, without knowing it, the foundations of what would continue to be his professional career.
The return to Mallorca was easy, returning to what he had always considered his homeland, with his family, was exciting, especially because he knew it was the right time to start a business. He started in a garage, with few resources but with many illusions. He had a clear objective, he only needed to reach it.
And that is how he was weaving his future. From the garage to a small warehouse, and from there to a bigger one and until today, with more than 250 projects around the world and more than a hundred employees with whom he works as one more, from the humility that comes from knowing that personal sacrifice has been present in every stitch he has made to realize those dreams he had since he threaded his first needle.
Today, Decoraciones EGEA has become a reference company for the hotel and catering sector. From those threads and fabrics to a transformation of the concept of decoration. Decoraciones EGEA is interior design, textiles, clothing, upholstery, but also carpentry, installation and metallurgy. In short, this family business offers a comprehensive service to its customers whatever the need and budget.
It has been 30 years since Manuel professionalized his ability to make a simple fabric to turn it into a great project. Three decades in which the most important thing has always been the satisfaction of his customers. That personalized and exclusive treatment that he learned as a child when he started in the sewing trade.
