ASK THE EXPERT
Describe the philosophy behind your firm.
Leonardo da Vinci said, “Simplicity is the ultimate form of
sophistication.” In today’s world, clients are bombarded with
ideas and it becomes daunting. We provide clarity of vision and
strive to deliver crisp, cohesive environments.
What do you strive to create when you’re working on a
project? What’s most important to you?
The importance of light and space along with form, color and
texture can be seen throughout the body of our work.
Speaking to your line of work, what constitutes
“good design”?
Good design is multilayered but tailored. It is focused and intuitive.
Great design should evoke a positive emotional response.
“We will never be a firm that just decorates. We design.

elongates the focal wall and makes this contemporary living room
seem much more grand.

INTERIOR DESIGNERS
Based in Miami with offices in Los Angeles and New York, Luxe Design
Studios has a presence in the luxury design market from coast to coast.
Using a mixture of contemporary components, the firm captures the
21st-century lifestyle in a way that rejuvenates, inspires and
encompasses the essence of living well. When asked to elaborate on
his influences and inspirations, creative director Nick DeJesu points to
several core principles of design. “Light, space, form, color and texture
will always be influences in great design,” he says. “We are inspired by
natural materials and finding innovative ways to use them.” Recognized
by luxury hoteliers and residential clients alike, DeJesu and his team of
designers have found that their uncompromising commitment to a
balance of function and aesthetic serves them well. A key to this
balance is the designer’s understanding of the relationship between
luxury and everyday life. “People are less affected by fashion and
trends,” DeJesu says. “It’s less about ‘big brands’ and more about
having a luxurious experience in your home. Luxury is the freedom to
live the life you want.” Constantly striving to innovate, the Luxe Design
Studios team combines a technical understanding of design with the
ability to harness creativity. The team’s passion for creating stylish,
intriguing and contemporary spaces is matched by their efficiency and
creativity. But for DeJesu the most important thing is that the design
process revolves around the inhabitants, a necessity in achieving his
ultimate goal—client satisfaction. “Interior design is a complex and
arduous process, but we love the day of the install, as crazy as it is,”
he says. “Nothing is more rewarding than handing over the finished
product to an appreciative client.”
