Design Approach

We are committed to designing spaces that inspire ease, wellness, and comfort - enriching the lives of occupants through crafted and curated design. Our design approach is a holistic, process-driven exercise that harmonizes human experience, functionality, and beauty. Inspired by tradition, we weave compelling narratives that combine historically rich design principles and modern perceptions, to create environments attuned to the rhythms and rituals of contemporary life.

Light and Space

We believe the space we inhabit is multi-dimensional - a place that reflects our continual progression, as well as informs our intuitive rhythms. Through the intentional design of each space, we strategically consider the volumetric elements demarcating rooms, such as locations of walls, niches, windows, to create a natural flow of circulation that celebrate common areas, while carving out private ones. Recognizing that we are in a state of continual change, our intention is to create spaces that are easeful and timeless, which can adapt to the fluidity of your evolution.

Natural light plays a significant role in each of our projects. Not only is it an important aspect in regulating our body’s natural rhythms, but has the characteristic of illuminating and enlivening a space. By intentionally locating fenestrations, we invite light to sculpt a space through the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, which create an ever-telling story throughout the day and evoke our sensory bodies.

Quiet Luxury

Our studio is deeply conscious about what we put out in the world, and we consider the wellness of our clients and our planet as essential components of every design. We believe that doing good and looking good are part of the same formula, and you don’t need to deplete resources to achieve and elevated look. We aim to use a combination of reclaimed materials, vintage finds, and all-natural, non-toxic resources, avoiding synthetics when possible.

We aim to re-define the meaning of luxury, opting for the term “quiet luxury” in the way we approach design. By implementing thoughtful details and solutions to the crafting of the constructed space and our bespoke creations, our designs are automatically elevated by bypassing the conventional and creating tangible moments that cannot be overlooked. From details such as how a baseboard turns the corner, to the formula of how materials come together in a room, we believe that Quiet Luxuries lie in the considerate use of our resources and the intentional and mindful development of the design - from the smallest details to the larger vision.

Studio

Established in 2020 in Los Angeles, De-Mo is a creative design practice founded by Nathaly Der Boghosian (De) and Felix Monasakanian (Mo). With a background in Architecture, collaboration on design projects began during their academic years and allowed the partnership to grow organically for two decades prior to formally establishing the practice. Inspired by their love of travel, De-Mo weaves their experiences and cultural influences into their designs. Emphasizing natural light, thoughtful form, functional utility, spatial flow, and experiential elements, De-Mo creates multi-level resonant environments.

As a versatile design studio, they engage in crafting space and environments for residential, cultural, and wellness purposes, along with designing custom furniture and experimental art installations. Their methodology not only shapes the visual and tactile essence of environments but also intertwines narratives with the character and aura of diverse landscapes and objects encountered, unfolding in unforeseen trajectories. In the pursuit of crafting stimulating and inspiring spaces, their process is cultivated and informative, driven by profound curiosity and intuitive understanding.
