ATELIER NOIR Interior studio · Est. 2009

Interior architecture · Bespoke furniture · Spatial curation

Spaces composed with
quiet authority

We design private residences, hotel suites and flagship retail interiors for clients who treat their space as a portrait of themselves. Every commission is supervised end‑to‑end by our senior partners.

A philosophy of restraint

We don't decorate rooms.
We compose atmospheres.

Our practice begins where trends end. With two decades spent in the workshops of Florence, Tokyo and Copenhagen, the studio approaches every interior as a slow, deliberate study — of light, proportion and the rituals that will unfold within its walls.

Materials are sourced personally. Joinery is built to outlast the decade. Every textile, surface and silhouette is chosen to recede into the life of the home rather than announce itself. The result is an interior that feels inevitable: as though it had always been there.

What we are entrusted with

Five complementary disciplines, offered as a single, quietly choreographed engagement — or independently, when a brief calls for it.

I.

Full interior architecture

Concept, planning, construction documentation and site supervision for primary residences, pieds‑à‑terre and hospitality interiors. Cap of twelve new projects per year.

Commission a residence
II.

Bespoke furniture & joinery

One‑off pieces prototyped in our Florentine workshop. Marquetry, solid timber, hand‑patinated brass.

III.

Lighting & atmospheric design

Layered scenography, integrated controls, circadian tuning and a discreet service of lamp design.

IV.

Art & collectible curation

Acquisitions, consignments and discreet installation for private collections, on retainer only.

V.

Hospitality & brand interiors

Flagship boutiques, members' clubs and suites for hotels whose guests arrive expecting an authored experience rather than a concept. Recent collaborators include Aman, Aesop and La Prairie.

An unhurried methodology

From first conversation to the moment you turn the key

  1. 01

    Discovery

    A two‑day visit to the property, ideally preceded by correspondence with the partners. We listen to your daily rituals, the pieces you have already acquired and the objects you refuse to compromise on.

    Weeks 1 — 3
  2. 02

    Atelier studies

    Schematic drawings, scale models in basswood and textile boards. Three concepts are presented in person, refined to one before any procurement begins.

    Weeks 4 — 12
  3. 03

    Construction

    Weekly site presence from a senior architect. Joinery is built to our drawings in Lombardy, lighting prototypes are mocked‑up in‑situ, art is reserved with a 12‑month horizon.

    Months 4 — 14
  4. 04

    Installation & styling

    A six‑person installation team, two founders in attendance. Light levels are tuned over three evenings. We leave once the keys are in your hand.

They are the only studio we have ever worked with that treated the existing house with the same seriousness as the new pieces. We learned more from the year we spent with them than from any other commission in twenty years of building.
