Tailored interior design in the heart of Italy
Interior design for private residences in Tuscany and beyond, made with Italian artisans.
The studio
Drawn in Tuscany, made by hand
Deniz Önel was born in Turkey and has made Tuscany her home for more than twenty years. She trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti and took a master’s in interior and furniture design; her studio designs private homes from the first wall that comes down to the last switch plate.
Much of what you see here was drawn rather than bought: a library of bronze and ash, an onyx bar lit from within, a table built around a tree. Each piece is made with Tuscan workshops — joiners, metalworkers, stone yards — and every room is lit as carefully as it is furnished.
