Trend Alert: 13 Up-and-Coming Architects/Designers on Our Watch List

January 29, 2018

A roundup of our under-the-radar discoveries from 2017 (and a couple from 2016): Here are 13 architects and designers we’ve got our eye on, in no particular order.

C. S. Valentin in New York City

Above: We first became aware of the quirky, distinctively French modernist vibe of designer C. S. Valentin when we posted on Hotel Esencia: Secluded Splendor on the Maya Riviera last year. We followed up with a visit to A Colonial House in Bellport with Uncommon Style and a Steal This Look: An Idiosyncratic French Bedroom on Long Island post. And earlier today we featured his own apartment, At Home with C. S. Valentin: French Eclecticism in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. Check out his line of furniture and home goods at Bogus Studio.

Sisto Studios in Paris

Kirill Bergart in Los Angeles

Above: We got to know Kirill Bergart when he participated in one of our West Coast Remodelista markets; we recently featured his own LA pad (see Midcentury Mashup: At Home with a Rising Design Star in LA). Also check out his shop: Counter-Space: Furniture and Homewares for Mindful Living, California-Style.

LSL in Paris

Above: Another Alexa discovery: LSL Architects; we’re all obsessed by their nonchalant but glamorous take on interiors (see The New Provencal Style: An Artfully Reinvented French Mas).

Undercover Architecture in London

Quintana Partners in Menorca, Spain

Above: Our friend Megan Wilson of Ancient Industries (her house in Cornwall is featured in our first book, Remodelista: A Manual for the Considered Home) clued us in to Menorca, Spain–based Quintana Partners. We’ve since posted on several of their projects: See Kitchen of the Week: Embracing the Old with Quintana Partners and The All-Vintage Renovation by Quintana Partners.

Salt & Bones in Carmel, California

Above: We’re fans of the relaxed, organic modern style of Carissa Duncan of design studio Salt & Bones in Carmel, California; we especially like her work at Esalen; see A Storied Retreat in Big Sur Gets an Update (for the First Time in 50 Years).

Chan & Eayres in London

Above: London design partners Chan & Eayrs aim to create “homes with soul,” as they say. “The idea of home is a primal and a personal construct.” Shown above, the kitchen in the Weaver’s House, their most recent project, a remodel of a Spitalfields Huguenot townhouse. For more, see The Renegade Real Estate Developers: Chan & Eayrs in London.

Rachel Chudley in London

Above: Christine was seated next to interior design Rachel Chudley at an Ochre dinner in London recently and excitedly emailed me the next day; we’ve been obsessing over her projects ever since. See more at Rachel Chudley (and stay tuned for a full interiors post soon).

Frame in London

Above: We discovered London-based Frame’s Imperial Club project via The Modern House (see A London New-Build Inspired by the Iconic Maison de Verre); we’d be happy to move right in.

Quiet Studios in Berlin, London, and Madrid

Above: Another serendipitous discovery: Quiet Studios, a design studio with offices in Berlin, London, and Madrid. “We believe in bringing artisanal handmade objects into contemporary spaces,” they say. “Our interiors are informed by the principles of design psychology. We custom-make furnishings and decor using a network of artisans.” See more at Old Napoli in Modern London: ’O ver Restaurant by Quiet Studios.

Andrew Trotter

Above: We’ve been fans of Katie Lockhart’s shop Everyday Needs since it opened (she has since sold it to focus on her design work); we’re looking forward to seeing more of her Katie Lockhart Studio interiors work over the next few years. For more, see Bathroom of the Week: Two Bath Remodels with Bold Green Tile in Auckland.
