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

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 the second half of a list of 10 interior designers that changed the world, you can click here for yesterday’s post.

6. Thierry W. Despont

He’s not only a designer but also an artist and an architect, he is also known as belonging to the so-called old school of design. He was born in France but traveled and worked all over the world and he had many exhibits in New York. He was decorated for his work and was also part of the team that reconditioned the Statue of Liberty. Anyway, his clients are high society and his demands are the same.

7. Miles Redd

He’s originally from Atlanta, but you can say he’s from all over the world. A remarkable designer and he turned into an advantage the fact that he used to work as a set designer. This way he can now adjust to all kinds of styles and genres without any preconceptions and stereotypes. He likes decorating and designing the interior of a house in order to reflect the owner’s personality.

8. Michael S. Smith

He’s an American interior designer and his headquarters are in Los Angeles. As each artist is known for something, in particular, Smith is known as the one responsible for the interior designing of the White House ever since 2008, which is actually illustrative of the American style.

The White House is iconic for the average American citizen, so you can only guess the value of the person chosen to decorate it. Of course, there are a lot of other projects that show his taste in interior design, like this Tower Grove project for example.

9. Catherine Widawska and Thomas Widawski

These are two members of a Polish family of architects who succeeded at having a career and winning quite a number of awards, this way proving interior design is spread all over the world and so is good taste. Their work and vision is defined by an apartment in Warsaw, Poland which they decorated in style. The interior of this apartment is made to look very modern and even futuristic at some points, being both beautiful and airy, comfortable and useful at the same time. It shows open space and a nice combination of colors, it’s youthful and fun.Space is carefully divided according to the purpose given for each area so as to make the most of it.

10. Robert Bailey

He’s the last one included in the list but this does not mean that he is less important than the others. Robert Bailey is a Canadian interior designer and he mixes functionality with design, comfort with class. This is perfectly shown in his work, for example in the way he arranged this beautiful Silversea Residence in Vancouver, Canada.

The best thing about designing this apartment was the fact that he had to take everything from the start since the residence was completely demolished and renovated, which is a lot easier than working with what you already have there. So the designer was asked to find a way to cover a toddler’s needs and the adults ‘ ones, too, without visible intrusions in each others’ lifestyles and areas.
