STUDIO
Founded by the eponymous Clodagh in 1983, Clodagh Design is a New York City–based multidisciplinary design studio with a global portfolio spanning more than 24 countries. Our work encompasses residential, hospitality, retail, and commercial interiors, including hotels, spas, restaurants, residential towers, private homes, retail environments, showrooms, offices, luxury yachts, and private jets. We also provide branding, packaging, and art consulting services, delivering thoughtful, comprehensive design solutions that extend beyond the built environment.
Today, as Clodagh assumes the role of Founder Emerita, the studio enters its next chapter under the leadership of Jose Achi and Nancie Min, who have been instrumental in shaping the Clodagh Design brand for more than a decade. Their creative vision, strategic leadership, and unwavering commitment to the studio’s philosophy ensure the continued evolution of Clodagh’s legacy while embracing new opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and global growth. Together, they carry forward the studio’s enduring mission to create environments that enrich lives through timeless, human-centered design.
Taking a bespoke, holistic approach to every project, we begin with a clean palette, questioning conventions and challenging assumptions. We celebrate the essential balance between vibrant community and restorative solitude, believing that exceptional design nurtures both meaningful connection and personal well-being. Sustainability is fundamental to our philosophy, expressed through responsibly sourced materials, timeless craftsmanship, and enduring, low-maintenance design that grows more beautiful with age.
Drawing from an expansive toolbox that bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary innovation—including feng shui, biophilia, chromotherapy, and bio-geometry—we create immersive environments that engage the senses and elevate the human experience. Curious, collaborative, and continually evolving, we believe, as Mikhail Baryshnikov famously observed, that true excellence comes not from surpassing others, but from continually surpassing ourselves.
Our work has been recognized with numerous international honors, including induction into the Interior Design Hall of Fame, Interior Design magazine’s Top 100 Interior Designers, Robb Report’s Top 10 Interior Designers in the World, Architectural Digest’s AD100, and multiple Interior Design Best of Year Awards across both product and project categories.
