MODERN DESIGNERS Often confused with the Contemporary Style, today’s Modern Style is based on a design movement that was birthed around the turn of the 20th century. All modern style furnishings and decor celebrate natural materials, neutral or earthy colors, and the elimination of unnecessary detailing. All in all, we can use Modern Style to define a broad design term that typically refers to a home with clean, crisp lines, a simple colour palette and the use of materials that can include metal, glass and steel. It employs a sense of simplicity in every element, including furniture.

There are many interior designers that are known for working with this amazing design style. In this ebook, we’ll feature 20 of those amazing designers that are considered top creators and, most of all, top ambassadors of this particular and prolific style.

ATELIER BIAGETTI “Biagetti and Baldassari draw their inspiration from the world around them, from human behaviour and contemporary society’s greatest obsessions!”

Atelier Biagetti is a company that consists of the culmination of the work of both Alberto Biagetti and Laura Baldassari. These two are used to challenging the boundaries between disciplines, while at the same time drawing inspiration from the world around them.

The two founders of Atelier Biagetti have drawn inspiration from all over the world, specifically in regards to “human behaviour and contemporary society’s greatest obsessions”. Through their work, they aim to construct an immersive environment filled with clues and hints in which the objects become characters in the amazing design scenes.

Both Alberto Biagetti and Laura Baldassari currently live and work in Milan, and both have had an extensive career before fate eventually brought them together to create Atelier Biagetti. Laura Baldassari started her collaboration with Alberto Biagetti in 2013 with the exhibition “One Minute Ago” (curated by Gabi Scardi at Galleria Riccardo Crespi). This partnership resulted in a series of exhibitions and projects that are very varied, being either very classical or very modern. Among their projects we can find: GOD (an immersive installation that explores many of contemporary society’s greatest obsessions), Body Building (seen as “a playful take on familiar gym shapes”), and NO SEX (an ambiguous take on the concept of sex and beauty with soft colours such as pink and white dominating the scenes).

Atelier Biagetti has also had a series of collaborations in prestige design collections, one of which is Louis Vuitton for Objets Nomades. Their Anemona table created by both designers comes off as an amazing “domestic symbol” of an element that alludes to freedom: the sea. They were also involved in the collection Disco Gufram, being the creators of the modular sofas that were the highlight of this amazing collection.

The work of Atelier Biagetti is varied within the design area.

It includes a series of actions such as installations, objects and performances. Their projects have been applied to public institutions, private spaces, museums and galleries in Italy and all over the world. Not to mention the fact that their work has already been featured in top design events and places.

FERNANDA MARQUES “The projects conceived in her practice combine Architecture, Interiors and Product Design, all mix with the essence of her style - clean and modern - and the best in the world’s art and design.”

Fernanda Marques´s career is marked by the same conceptual thread that characterized her formative at the University of São Paulo’s School of Architecture and Urbanism. The projects conceived in her practice combine Architecture, Interiors and Product Design, all mix with the essence of her style - clean and modern- and the best in the world’s art and design.

This amazing design approach can be seen in the Malibu and Barbizon residences, in São Paulo and New York, as well as in the many ongoing projects in Miami, London and Lisbon. From paradisiacal homes by the sea to real estate developments in major Brazilian cities, to well-established commercial spaces, such as the ones for Ermenegildo Zegna, John John, Le Lis Blanc, L’Occitane and Rosa Chá. More than designed rooms, these are spaces where Fernanda has expressed her concepts in a cohesive manner, thus becoming a reference for a whole generation of young professionals.

It is this multidisciplinary attitude, combined with a renewed appetite for the new that makes her an unmatched contender in the domestic scenario. Praised both by the critics and the public, her participation in design exhibitions such as CasaCor and in the three editions of MostraBlack are fitting illustrations for her trajectory that has a global recognition of her work by the specialized media in several countries.

JEAN-MARIE MASSAUD “The way I try to practice it is, of course, by giving people the context of the means to free them from the matter. To give the right opportunities and to live the right experiences.” – Jean-Marie Massaud

The world of design works in mysterious ways concerning the experiences and meanings it provides. It is a detailed art form that requires an abundant amount of willpower and passion from its resourceful professionals. French designer and architect, Jean-Marie Massaud who best describes himself as a perfectionist and generous person, embodies this reality perfectly.

In 2000, Massaud founded his own studio and since then he has collaborated collaborated with numerous prominent brands, such as Poliform, B&B Italia, Poltrona Frau and Dior. Following a philosophy of improving something for the better and giving great importance to context, Massaud has a quest of focusing on the essentials in regards to the means and experiences that his creations convey to the public.

For the designer, a project becomes more than what meets the eye, for instance, when designing a football stadium, a submarine or a car, one must always have the perception of the surroundings. On the other hand, when undertaking a residential project, Massaud contests the idea of decoration or statement and purely concentrates on matters like offering a sense of intimacy, freedom and comfort, hence creating the right ambience and an incredible design.

Formerly, Massaud would frequently do projects all over the world, from Europe to Japan, to California and México in the pursuit of betterments and understandings. Nowadays he doesn’t travel as much in far countries as a personal choice.

Another aspect that the French inventor never neglects is directing towards qualitative values instead of quantitative. It serves as a state of mind for Massaud, as he views that in any kind of society, it is more imperative to grow than to produce an absurd number of things, after all, the essence of living registers in the former rather than the latter. He believes being awarded a distinction from peers is important because one can receive feedback and be recognised for their professional work. Furthermore, he finds it absolutely fundamental that in the world of architecture or design, one must fortify vital relationships as well as actually experiencing and attempting new perspectives more than to observing.

MARCEL WANDERS “I am a proud designer, and as interior designers we are lucky we can do the things we love every day” – Marcel Wanders

Marcel Wanders is one of the leading product and interior designers of the world with thousands of iconic projects under his name. After working with numerous luxury brands like Baccarat and Louis Vuitton, Marcel Wanders’ most recent collaborative project was with Barovier & Toso, announced during the latest edition of Salone del Mobile.

Marcel Wanders is quite a versatile designer, with projects ranging from architecture, interior or industrial design. With several exquisite Hospitality and Residential Projects all around the world, Wanders stands out as a renown designer known for mixing color, art, passion, craftsmanship and glass designs.

His modern approach reflects his extravagant style that boosts creative approaches and luxury designs in all of his works!

That’s why that according to the designer itself, the best thing about his work is being able to do something unique and new every day.

When asked about what makes him happy, the designer compared the design process to a puzzle, where you have all the pieces and you have to make them fit whilst finding the beauty in it. However, his favourite part of the process are the difficulties and obstacles you may find along the way, saying that fixing those issues makes him “eternally happy”.

Marcel Wanders and Barovier & Toso have been working together for the past seven years, creating one-of-a-kind, eccentric pieces like rotating chandeliers or glass puppets. But Wanders felt they should create something incredible that went beyond the idea of a simple lamp, thus creating the ‘Adonis’ chandelier.

The designer saw his creation for the first time at Salone del Mobile 2019 and was blown away. ‘Adonis’ is a modular chandelier, with several shapes and sizes, as well as different materials and decorations. “We are really looking forward to develop this chandelier to be an eternal icon for the world”, said the designer.

MARMOL RADZINER “We draw inspiration for each project from the unique characteristics of the site, especially any natural surroundings.” – Ron Radziner

Marmol Radziner is based in Los Angels and was founded in 1989 from the partnership between Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner. The firm offers a full range of design services, including architectural design, programming, master planning, historic restoration, landscape design, interior design, and furniture design. Marmol Radziner specializes in residential, restoration, multifamily, commercial, retail, hospitality, educational, and community projects.

The story of how they got here from there is a familiar one: Two young idealists meet at school (California Polytechnic at San Luis Obispo), toil at separate firms, and then join forces in 1989. But there the script veers off into the unfamiliar, unglamorous territory of design/build. According to Marmol and Radziner, their choice was obvious. “We realized the loss of control we had from not building our own projects,” says Marmol, who worked on construction sites in the San Francisco Bay area as a teenager. “Design/build is a historic process,” adds L.A. native Radziner. “Before the early 1900s, the two disciplines used to be more intertwined. We’re going back to the old style.” So Marmol obtained his contractor’s license, and the pair amassed a portfolio of small remodels and additions. They took care to market themselves as architects who could also build, so potential clients wouldn’t confuse them with the “builder offering design services” model that’s more typical of design/build.

Following the “master builder” tradition, Marmol Radziner integrates design services with a variety of construction capabilities. The firm houses a wide range of in-house skills, including architects, metal fabricators, carpenters, cabinetmakers and construction crew. With Marmol Radziner Shops the firm frequently designs and fabricates original furnishings specific to each project through its in-house cabinet and metal shops. In addition, the firm also designs and produces several Marmol Radziner furniture available for custom order.

The firm is also licensed to reproduce R.M. Schindler’s line of furnishings designed for his seminal 1921-22 Kings Road Schindler House in West Hollywood.

RETROUVIUS ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN “Photographs only tell part of the story: beneath the inventively applied wood and stone, the lovingly hand-dyed and reclaimed textiles, lie larger tales of transformation, and relationships with clients that stretch over multiple projects.” - Maria Speake

Retrouvius is driven by the belief that good materials and well-made things are precious. Founded 25 years ago in 1993 by Adam Hills and Maria Speake, the destination salvage company and its acclaimed design studio are based across two buildings in Kensal Green, London.

Overseen by Adam, the changing stock in the Harrow Road warehouse ranges from tropical hardwoods, architectural elements, eye-catching one-offs, rugs and lighting. The Retrouvius Design studio, lead by Maria, applies the Retrouvius ethos to select interior and architectural projects, both domestic and commercial.

One of the studio’s missions is sharing their experience of informed handling and salvaged material they’ve gathered over the years.

SARA FOLCH “I have achieved a lot, but every day I gain more dreams. Because life is meant for dreaming and you work so that dreams are fulfilled. One of my pending dreams, on which I am working, is to create a foundation related to interior design.” – Sarah Folch

Throughout the years, Sara Folch Interior Design has been widely recognized as one of the best interior design studios in Spain. The studio has been proven to be able to take on a variety of elements such as apartment design as well as urban building designing. Among Sarah Folch’s greatest accomplishments we can point to her team’s take on projects from several places. Among them is a luxurious restaurant for Hotel Arts in Barcelona, the expansion and refurbishing of an old 1,000 m2 chalet to a modern mansion in the heart of Paris and their involvement in the construction of a business complex of more than 15,000 m2.

Those small rooms showcased a feeling of comfort, harmony and with a touch of new technologies that made us be reborn in a sensitive explosion where great stories begin, and those rooms were just one more showcase of Folch´s amazing creativity and grandiose design approach.
