Top European Designers
Studio KO
The architects at Studio KO first met as undergrads at Paris’ École des Beaux-Arts more than 20 years ago. Olivier Marty and Karl Fournier founded their business after falling in love, and it is now well known for its handcrafted, rustic minimalism. According to Fournier, the human touch should be emphasised rather than eliminated. Imperfections in the process are unavoidable. Despite the fact that it is our language, you can only tell if you can feel it. The design team has worked on projects all over the world, including Yves Saint Laurent’s Musée in Marrakech, Balmain boutiques in New York and Los Angeles, and André Balazs’ Chiltern Firehouse hotel in London.

Laplace

Luis Laplace, an Argentine native, graduated from the Universidad de Belgrano in 1995 with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in architecture and urbanism. Later, he worked with Annabelle Selldorf in New York before moving to Paris and co-founding a company with his French colleague Christophe Comoy. Laplace is especially drawn to art; once telling AD that “Art, art, and art!” best represented his sense of design; as a result, he creates interiors that are both creative and ideal settings for art collections.
Joseph Dirand Architecture
After graduating from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-Belleville, Joseph Dirand became known as a rigid modernist who was enamoured with minimalism’s blank slate. Dirand received the assignment to design the interiors of Junko Shimada’s Paris store at the age of 25, quickly demonstrating his exceptional talent. Over time, the designer has developed a distinct narrative approach to his work that feels noticeably more energetic.
Elliott Barnes Interiors
Elliott Barnes, an American living in Paris, learned his trade under the late Andrée Putman and served as the firm’s director before opening his own office in 2004. Barnes had the opportunity to lecture at American institutions as well as the ENSAD (National School of Decorative Arts) in Paris at the start of his career. With his own firm, the Cornell University alumnus expertly blends residential and hotel projects, such as The Ritz-Carlton, historic Parisian maisons, and Javier Pastore’s home.
Casiraghi Architecture d’Intérieur
Fabrizio Casiraghi, an Italian-born Parisian, has created an entrancing body of work since beginning at the Dimorestudio in Milan. His work includes stores for Kenzo and Cire Trudon, as well as a skilful renovation of Paris’s renowned Drouant restaurant and boutique hotels in prime locations. The internet went into overdrive when he furnished a lavish Parisian apartment with skirted yellow sofas and bronze painted-filigree plasterwork. “A beguiling harmony flavoured with African and Asian allusions,” describes Casiraghi’s aesthetic. More is on the way, with three audaciously realised hotels currently under construction in London, Sydney, and Paris.
Vincenzo De Cotiis
Vincenzo De Cotiis, a Politecnico di Milano graduate, works at the intersection of architecture, interior design, and furniture design, following in the footsteps of Italian masters such as Gio Ponti and Carlo Scarpa and emphasising superior craftsmanship above all else. His sculptural furnishings, which are for sale and on display at Carpenters Workshop Gallery, serve as inspiration for his interior design projects, which include yachts, retail jobs, and homes in Ibiza, Paris, St. Moritz, and Cyprus.
Studio Peregalli
The evocative commissions created by Laura Sartori Rimini and Roberto Peregalli, the late mentor and legendary decorator Renzo Mongiardino’s spiritual heirs, at Studio Peregalli in Milan, bring history to life. The scholarly duo envisions a broad span of bygone aesthetics, from Renaissance magnificence to Victorian exuberance, realized by professional crafters employing age-old techniques, as shown in their mesmerizing books, The Invention of the Past (2011) and Grand Tour (2018), both from Rizzoli.
Dimorestudio
Britt Moran and Emiliano Salci of Milan, the creators of Dimorestudio, continue the tradition of visionaries who were not afraid to go bigger, bolder, and more colourful than ever before in Italian design history. However, they actually shifted their focus backwards in order to advance their own aesthetic. The designers’ obsession with the 1970s, which now pervades much of their work and is heavily influenced by the fashion industry—including an apartment in the Palazzo Fendi, a Hermès showroom at Salone, and a Dior home goods line.
