Top 10 Interior Designers That Changed the World

When most people think about interior designing they tend to think of it as a superficial profession, not even an art form, which it is. What most people don’t realize is that the same profession they tend to look upon might change an otherwise mundane existence into a daily emotional experience that lets you live away from the boundaries of your day to day routine.

Through the years many have attempted to steps into this ever-changing realm, and although many have to lead a long successful career, few were the ones that really changed one’s perception of space and its use. Here is a list of 10 interior designers that changed the world, divided into two parts for better enjoyment.

4. Federico Delrosso

5. Martin Brudnizki

Brudnizki actually comes from Sweden, but he is not a world famous designer and his works are requested on both continents. His style is described as being “minimalist deluxe” and this certainly says a lot about his vision.
