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

Julie Carlson 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

cs valentin bellport jonathan hokklo alexa hotz 15 — 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.

LSL in Paris

Chan & Eayres in London
