<strong>Carnegie Hall<\/strong>, Amy\u2019s apartment is the most special project that she has done so far. The apartment was built in 1908\/1910, so the New York-based interior designer searched for inspiration from different styles around the world of that time, such as the <strong>steel style<\/strong> as well as the <strong>secessionist style<\/strong>. From the flooring, which is in the Chevron and with the inlay made with walnut wood, to the lighting that\u2019s from all of the secessionist lightings with a lot of glass, every single thing was carefully tough until the last detail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_84356\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84356\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/inspirations\/best-id-from-new-york-and-new-jersey\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article-image&amp;utm_content=covethouseblog-amylauinterview&amp;utm_campaign=topID&amp;utm_term=mmachado1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-84356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AmyLauDesign_WaterMillResidence_photoThomasLoof.jpg\" alt=\"Exclusive Interview With Amy Lau\" width=\"800\" height=\"629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AmyLauDesign_WaterMillResidence_photoThomasLoof.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AmyLauDesign_WaterMillResidence_photoThomasLoof-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AmyLauDesign_WaterMillResidence_photoThomasLoof-768x604.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AmyLauDesign_WaterMillResidence_photoThomasLoof-640x503.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AmyLauDesign_WaterMillResidence_photoThomasLoof-450x354.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AmyLauDesign_WaterMillResidence_photoThomasLoof-225x177.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AmyLauDesign_WaterMillResidence_photoThomasLoof-20x15.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-84356\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Water Mill Residence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The firm\u2019s work has been featured in several top design publications such as <strong>Architectural Digest, Elle Decor <\/strong>and <strong>House Beautiful,<\/strong> and has earned many of the most prized awards in design, including the <strong>House Beautiful Next-Wave Award, Architectural Digest\/AD 100 Award, ELLE Decor A-List<\/strong> and the<strong> Luxe Interiors + Design Gold List<\/strong>.

Now, most young professionals want to work in a place for a year or a year and a half and then jump to another place seeking a new experience, which turns the mentoring process a little bit more difficult.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s very hard on interior designers because we give so much to these employees to train them the right way and it takes so much time, and just when they\u2019re finished being trained, they\u2019re ready to jump to the next. It\u2019s mentorships where you can exchange ideas, and talk them over with someone that knows much more than you do. It does take time and you\u2019re going to have to put in the hours, and you are going to have to work very hard because this is not an easy job. It\u2019s a very challenging one, but it is a beautiful one.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Amy Lau<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_84359\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84359\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/inspirations\/best-id-from-new-york-and-new-jersey\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article-image&amp;utm_content=covethouseblog-amylauinterview&amp;utm_campaign=topID&amp;utm_term=mmachado1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-84359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-West-Chelsea-Loft-2t-1.jpg\" alt=\"Exclusive Interview With Amy Lau\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-West-Chelsea-Loft-2t-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-West-Chelsea-Loft-2t-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-West-Chelsea-Loft-2t-1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-West-Chelsea-Loft-2t-1-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-West-Chelsea-Loft-2t-1-450x281.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-West-Chelsea-Loft-2t-1-225x141.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-West-Chelsea-Loft-2t-1-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-84359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">West Chelsea Loft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Currently, Amy is working on several projects across the United States, in <strong>New York<\/strong> and <strong>Connecticut<\/strong> as well.
