Tihany Design

Led by Principle Alessia Genova, who assumed ownership of the multi-disciplinary interior design studio in 2024, Tihany Design is a design atelier with a focus in luxury hospitality design. Since its founding in 1978 by namesake Adam D. Tihany, the firm has crafted hotel and dining interiors at some of the most iconic and luxurious properties around the globe, including The Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, The Westin Chosun in Seoul, One & Only Cape Town, The Breakers Palm Beach, Belmond Hotel Cipriani in Venice, Four Seasons Dubai DIFC and The Oberoi New Delhi. Tihany Design is fueled by an international quest for discovery and boasts a dynamic team of talented designers. Characterized by personal identity, timeless elegance, and a strong sense of place, the firm’s body of work showcases a fluid, yet profoundly diverse design vocabulary, illustrating Tihany’s philosophy of custom-tailoring each project to fit the unique vision of the client. The firm’s bespoke designs often incorporate custom products and furniture, which has resulted in collaborations with notable companies such as Bernardaud, Kartell, Roda, and Poltrona Frau. Recognized as one of the first design firms to collaborate with internationally acclaimed chefs, Tihany Design has created signature restaurants for culinary stars such as Thomas Keller, Daniel Boulud, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Charlie Palmer, Heston Blumenthal and Pierre Gagnaire. Now setting his sights on the seas, Tihany Design’s work with Carnival brands has propelled the firm to the forefront of the cruise industry, leading with innovative design concepts for Holland America Line and ultra-luxury Seabourn vessels.
