An interior design studio creating spaces with soul

We create spaces with soul

Studio

Our interiors celebrate the history of objects, the stories of artists and the patina of place. We believe in the power of color—in all its frequencies—to give meaning and emotion. Our work is known for its juxtapositions of texture and curve, opacity and transparency, play and function, versatility and vibrancy.

A champion of our local creative community, we collaborate with artists and artisans in a variety of mediums.

We believe that good design betters everyday life and opens worlds and eyes.

Process

We deliver service and design from initial concept through installation.

Our comprehensive design process incorporates custom furniture and millwork design, personal shopping and styling, art sourcing, procurement and placement.

We are passionate about our relationships with craftspeople, artisans and makers, and about supporting their work. We manage the details so you can delight in the design journey.

Leadership

Alison Damonte

Principal/ Artistic Director

Alison grew up in Iowa where wide skies and long summers encouraged her sense of imagination and wanderlust. She received her BA from Washington University in St Louis and then studied design and architecture in Boston and San Francisco. After working in architecture for five years, a chance meeting with legendary San Francisco designer Martha Angus led Alison into the world of interior design. She later refined her skills at BraytonHughes, contributing to large-scale residential projects.

In 2012 Alison founded her eponymous studio. Known for her modern, art-forward approach to residential interior design, Alison partners with clients in a design process that sparks curiosity, encourages exploration, and builds long-lasting relationships.

Alison’s work has been published in Architectural Digest, California Home & Design, Domino, Dwell, LivingEtc., Interior Design, and Luxe. In 2016 she received the California Home & Design Award for Interior Design over 3000 SF; in 2023 she received a Luxe Red award for her work on a historic Willis Polk house in Berkeley, CA.
