Axel Vervoordt

Belgian entrepreneur Axel Vervoordt is renowned for both his spectacular domestic interiors and his empire of art, antiques, and design deals. His astonishingly consistent style, which has come to be associated with Belgian design itself, is embodied in somber, minimalist, and rustic spaces with a neutral color scheme—with not a speck of color or pattern in sight. There’s no doubt that Vervoordt, an AD100 Hall of Famer, is a tastemaker; as new and old interior design fads come and go, many of our decorating obsessions can be linked back to him. Examples include low coffee tables and plaster walls.

David Adjaye

One of today’s top architectural firms is led by Sir David Adjaye, a Tanzanian-born architect who is known for his use of angular, almost demanding forms and a distinctive palette of somber materials. Adjaye Associates, with offices in London, New York, and Accra, develops cutting-edge projects that are infused with ideas of cultural identity. A number of private apartments, including one in Brooklyn for artist Glenn Ligon, one in Tel Aviv for the Batsheva Dance Company, and one in New York City’s mixed-use Affirmation Tower are among the other works of the AD100 designer.

Deborah Berke, the first female dean of the Yale School of Architecture, infuses her work with an intellectual rigor that enables it to respond in novel yet wholly appealing ways to the site, surroundings, and customers’ needs. High-profile structures designed by her firm Deborah Berke Partners for prestigious universities like Harvard and Princeton are the furthest thing from ivory towers; instead, they fit effortlessly into their campuses and are open to the local community.

Ellie Cullman

Ellie Cullman, a native New Yorker, has been running her interior design business for decades and offers her socially engaged clientele complex, personalized designs that frequently incorporate art. She co-founded Cullman & Kravis with her late partner Hedi Kravis, and the company creates spaces that stand out for their variety and mingling of hues, patterns, finishes, and time periods, reflecting a lively, modern take on traditional decoration (perhaps most notably in Cullman’s own Connecticut home).

She has used an approach similar to an industrial design company to focus her creative energy on warm, welcoming residences (like this one in Stockholm) and hospitality projects that appreciate natural materials and elegant, hospitable settings that are nostalgic without being precious or extravagant.

India Mahdavi

India Mahdavi has contributed to redefining the aesthetic of opulent interiors for more than 20 years by giving them a whimsical and, most importantly, refined sense of color. The Iranian-born designer works from her Paris studio to produce colorful designs for homes, hotels, restaurants, furniture, accessories, and retail spaces. The Gallery at Sketch, her ground-breaking restaurant, was dubbed the world’s most Instagrammed restaurant in 2014. Its almost totally pink rendering can be credited with inspiring the industry to once again embrace color in a fresh and modern way.

Jacques Garcia is widely regarded as one of France’s top interior designers and architects today.

The incredibly daring buildings created by French architect Jean Nouvel challenge all preconceived assumptions of conventional design. The Pritzker Prize-winning architect‘s museums, music halls, towers, and residential complexes each have their own distinctive style, playing with wide expanses of color and shapes that seem retro-futuristic. The Louvre Abu Dhabi, one of his most famous works, is made up of numerous white cubes covered by a huge dome made of millions of interlocking aluminum stars. It takes a lot of skill to create something entirely new for every commission.

John Stefanidis

John Stefanidis, an interior designer residing in the UK who was born in Egypt to Greek parents, has worked with a long list of notable customers, including Ann Getty, the Duke of Westminster, and Lord Rothschild. The AD100 designer has developed a reputation for adding quirky color pops and Mediterranean flair to his stately, classical designs throughout his career. John Stefanidis is well known for his interior design work, but he also creates furniture and fabric. He is frequently motivated by his travels, a client’s wants, or a strong hue.

Before Kelly Wearstler made a name for herself, New York was the undisputed hub of the American interior design industry. However, by introducing a distinctive, glitzy aesthetic to the local scene and playing with numerous 20th-century inspirations, including Hollywood Regency, to create a look all her own, Wearstler tilted the balance of design power toward Los Angeles.

Large-scale avant-garde work helped Kengo Kuma establish his reputation. The Japanese architect draws influence from Japan’s traditional element-based architecture and frequently uses organic materials like stone and wood. In addition to his architectural work, he is praised for his thought-provoking writing. The most recent of his numerous publications, Kengo Kuma: My Life as an Architect in Tokyo, was released in 2021.

Renzo Piano, an Italian native now living in Genoa, has built famous museums, gleaming corporate headquarters, and urban residential skyscrapers that have defined modern architecture in the 20th and 21st centuries. Renzo Piano eventually opted for a design of glass-and-steel structures that have the uncanny ability to simultaneously (and seamlessly) create a sense of identity and weightlessness after completing his ground-breaking and contentious inside-out Centre Pompidou museum in Paris (with Richard Rogers) in 1977.

Since he immigrated to the United States from France in the 1980s, shortly after receiving his design degree, Robert Couturier has been a mainstay of the New York interior design scene. His career was begun when French-British financier Sir James Goldsmith recruited him at a young age to construct a significant estate in Mexico. This led to many unusual commissions.

His calm, perforated-concrete buildings appear to serve a variety of purposes, including those of private residences, museums, and even churches.
