What Clodagh Design does

Clodagh Design is a privately held, New York City-based multi-discipline interior design firm founded in 1983 by Irish-born designer Clodagh. The studio provides bespoke interior design services across hospitality (hotels, resorts, spas, restaurants), luxury residential (condominiums, penthouses, private residences), retail, and healthcare/wellness projects, with a stated footprint spanning more than 24 countries. Its core methodology combines a proprietary "Life-Enhancing Minimalism" philosophy with ancient wellness modalities including feng shui, biophilia, chromotherapy, and bio-geometry, applied to projects for anchor enterprise clients such as Related Companies, Six Senses, Miraval, EAST Miami, MoMA, and Equinox.

The firm's commercial offering extends beyond design services into a licensing ecosystem of 18+ product collections distributed through established manufacturers, including Restoration Hardware (Cosimo furniture), Visual Comfort (lighting), Speakman and Watermark (plumbing), RH, AKDO (tile), Marc Phillips and Tufenkian (rugs), Perennials and CF Stinson (textiles), DuVerre (hardware), Oakworks (spa equipment), Trueform Concrete, Hamilton Sinkler, Koroseal (wallcoverings), Reggio (air registers), American Tin Ceilings, Labrazel, and Walters. The firm also offers art consulting services curating museum-quality artwork for projects.

Clodagh Design operates an enterprise go-to-market model with project-based fees calculated on scope and complexity, plus royalty income from product licensing. The firm is privately held with no external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds. It is founder-led (Clodagh as Founder and CEO) and supported by a team of approximately 16 professionals including a Director of Finance and Operations, Director of Design Development, Design Director, and Artistic Director. The firm has earned consistent industry recognition including Interior Design Magazine Hall of Fame induction in 1997, AD 100, Robb Report Top 10 Interior Designers, and a sustained cadence of Hospitality Design, Interior Design Best of Year, and AIA awards spanning two decades.
