Penelope August Studio

Penelope August Studio is a full service interior design practice, which creates bespoke spaces in close collaboration with clients. Penelope and her team combine 20th century furniture with custom contemporary designs, collaborating with local artisans and specialists, to create unique spaces of the highest quality and craftsmanship. The studio attentively oversees the process from initial design all the way through installation. Penelope August founded her studio in New York City in 2014. She designs elegant spaces that are calm, inviting and practical. She places a special emphasis on creating a feeling of space, while at the same time layering textures and juxtaposing contemporary and vintage furnishings. Hunting for found objects and materials allows Penelope to cultivate tension between old and new, minimalist and adorned. She is always seeking objects of authentic design, noble materials that evoke a sense of wonder. For five years, Penelope had an antique booth at the Showplace Antique Center, where she sold Scandinavian and Italian early mid-century furniture. Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Remodelista, Dwell, and Curbed.
