|Summer 2023
It's here: our annual look at the most impressive designers across residential interiors, architecture, and landscape. This year, we introduce 11 standout studios changing the game globally. And we also salute a special group of the industry's Titans, whose work is, in a word, legendary
-
MIMINAT SHODEINDE
After founding her studio in 2018, the British Nigerian designer and artist has taken on ambitious work in locales from England to Nigeria to South Africa. Her elegant, pared-back aesthetic is all-encompassing, with Shodeinde often designing everything in a home down to the tables, chairs, and doorknobs. She's currently working on projects soon to be completed in Kuwait City, London, and Ericeira, Portugal.

NICHOLAS OBEID
Born in Troy, Michigan, to Syrian parents, Obeid got his start in design working for Jonathan Adler, then set off on his own as an interior designer known for warmly modernist spaces that incorporate vintage finds. Obeid also designs furniture, notably for CB2. Coming soon: his own collection of sofas, tables, and more. New York City @nicholas_obeid nicholasobeid.com
GARRETT HUNTER
Hunter's eponymous design studio takes a curatorial approach, informed by his experience as a furniture dealer and the coproprietor of Tienda X Gallery in Los Angeles. His projects, including a Hollywood Hills bungalow featured in our April 2023 issue, reflect an eclectic sensibility steeped in history and obsessed with craft. On the horizon: Hunter is finishing work on a chalet in Aspen for art-collector clients. Los Angeles/Seattle @thegrh garretthunter.com
