What Studio Mellone does

Studio Mellone is a New York-based interior design studio founded in 2012 by Brazilian architect Andre Mellone. The practice is organized around four service lines: residential interior design (its primary offering for high-net-worth private clients), retail store design for fashion and luxury brands, commercial space design for offices, lobbies, and amenity areas, and product design covering furniture, lighting, and fragrance packaging. The studio is headquartered at 121 Varick Street, Suite 803, in New York and operates with a lean team of 8 employees.

The studio's client base combines high-net-worth residential commissions with luxury fashion and commercial real estate clients. Documented projects include multiple Thom Browne retail locations across New York, London, Hong Kong, Seoul, and Paris; Carolina Herrera's Madison Avenue store; Jason Wu retail and perfume bottle design; Watchbox retail in New York and Los Angeles; Galerie Gabriel; and lobby renovations at 45 and 50 Rockefeller Plaza. Geographic reach spans the United States (New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, Jackson Hole, Amagansett, Baltimore), Brazil, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and Switzerland, with projects executed on a direct-engagement basis without intermediaries.

Studio Mellone operates a project-based professional services model. Revenue is generated through interior design fees, furniture and product procurement commissions, and project management, with pricing varying by scope, scale, and complexity and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is entirely direct, relying on the principal's industry reputation, inclusion on best-in-class lists (AD 100, Elle Decor A-List, Wallpaper* 300, Est Living's Esteemed 10), press coverage, an Instagram presence, and a portfolio website. The studio is privately held, founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional investment, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.
