Design to us, is more art than science, and our goal is to create solutions that will resonate for years to come, whether it is a residential or public space. In our designs we make a strong and impressive statement on past, present and future interior taste.

Many of our projects involve interior renovations of existing historical properties with an established history. Every project is designed with an individual approach: we are crafting one-of-a-kind atmospheres to bring heritage properties back to their splendour.

We draw our inspiration from art, culture, the nature of a location, the building's history, or from the artisans with whom we work in order to invigorate the building’s existing soul. We love details and surprising contrasts, handpicked products and reclaimed materials are our passion.

With respect for architecture and purity, our tailor-made concepts are not shy of aesthetics, but resist fashion and trends.

From this time she started to be involved in various castles for royals and villas for international celebrities.

With her own company Chantal started in 2009 to express her love for art through integrating antique and mid-century collectibles in her projects.

Her poetic language defines environments where surprising, elegant details and sophisticated materials create timeless atmospheres.

Since moving to Mallorca in 2014, her projects include various authentic restoration projects such as Hotel Murum in the Unesco world heritage Diocletian palace of Split, and her personal 20’s mansion “DUX”, which echoes many features of the fashionable Art Deco movement from old Havana.
