WHAT WE STAND FOR
OUR DESIGN DNA
The DNA of Nina Magon Studio is woven from three core threads: boundary-pushing creativity, master craftsmanship, and client-centric collaboration. Every bespoke interior design project we undertake is an opportunity to push beyond convention, to create spaces that are simultaneously breathtaking and deeply livable. We source the world’s finest materials, engage the most skilled artisans, and partner with our clients as true collaborators in the creative process.
Our creative perspective is informed by a world of artistic and cultural influences, drawing inspiration from art, architecture, fashion, travel, and the evolving landscape of contemporary design. We embrace the tension between contrast and harmony, the unexpected and the refined, translating these influences into distinctive compositions of form, texture, color, and materiality. This fearless exploration allows us to approach each project with individuality and intention, creating environments that challenge expectations while maintaining a sophisticated sense of balance.
At the heart of our practice is an unwavering commitment to the experience behind every space. We believe exceptional design requires an understanding that extends beyond aesthetics, considering how people live, gather, connect, and interact with their surroundings. Through thoughtful collaboration, meticulous execution, and an uncompromising attention to detail, we transform a shared vision into environments that are deeply personal and thoughtfully resolved. The result is design with a distinct point of view, where artistry, purpose, and enduring quality exist in equal measure.

EVOKE:
NINA MAGON
Growing up in Houston, yet born in Canada, interior designer Nina Magon would frequently return to India with her family, and with every passage take a different course, visiting the world’s cultural capitals. These dramatic detours profoundly impacted her global approach and shaped her award-winning practice.
In Evoke, her first book, Magon shares with readers the cosmopolitan glamour that has become her signature, a sophisticated style carefully balancing high-gloss modernism and old-world grandeur that has been embodied in designs she has created for many prominent families, prestigious hotel brands, and star athletes. Each unique space she creates is evocative of a well-traveled lifestyle, synthesizing art, architecture, and fashion.
PRIVATE RESIDENCE
This residence was envisioned as a sophisticated sanctuary that seamlessly supports the demands of contemporary life. Thoughtfully designed to accommodate both everyday family routines and creative pursuits, the home balances functionality with elevated aesthetics. Open, light-filled spaces foster connection and flexibility, creating an environment that effortlessly adapts to work, entertaining, and moments of retreat.
