What STEPHANIE COUTAS does

Stéphanie Coutas is a Paris-based private interior design studio and gallery founded by designer Stéphanie Coutas after a fifteen-year career in the French fashion industry. The firm operates as a full-service practice delivering bespoke interior design for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, luxury hospitality brands, and high-end retailers across projects in France, Monaco, Saint-Tropez, Dubai, and Singapore. Services span end-to-end project management — from structural work through art curation — delivered to five-star hotel standards, with reference projects including the 650m² Bastide des Vignes estate, the 345m² Place des États-Unis apartment (with custom Baccarat chandelier and an eight-month Yann Jallu stone-inlay gypsum door), and hospitality work including Hôtel Madame Drouot, Hotel Phileas Paris, Hotel Dress Code Paris (33 rooms), and a Louis Vuitton retail space in Singapore.

The studio distributes its proprietary product line under the SC Edition brand, comprising an Indoor Collection (chairs, sofas, tables, consoles, lighting, mirrors, and carpets), an Outdoor Collection (sunbeds, sofas, tables, and bar furniture for luxury hotel settings), and a Gifts & Decorative Objects line including Limoges porcelain plates, scented candles, Jardin d'Eden cushions in alpaca, cashmere, and linen, plus the published design book "Eclectic Luxury." Furniture is produced via artisan partnerships with heritage French houses — Lesage (hand embroidery), Pierre Frey (bouclette upholstery), Baccarat (the "Paris" straw-marquetry chandelier), Holland and Sherry (custom embroidery), and master craftsmen including Yann Jallu (stone marquetry), Petra (eggshell and lacquer finishes), and Sabina Fay (silk and silver-leaf curtain fabrics). Signature techniques include 17th-century straw marquetry applied to modern lighting and furniture, using bespoke materials such as travertine, bronze, selenite, onyx, raffia, and Imbricata woven wooden strips.

Revenue is generated through four streams: professional services for interior design projects, sales of SC Edition proprietary furniture collections, decorative objects and gifts (candles, plates, cushions, books), and an outdoor furniture line targeting luxury hotels. Pricing is overwhelmingly quote-based ("price upon request") with custom-made materials, bespoke dimensions, and 12-week production lead times on most pieces. The company operates a flagship Paris gallery at 10 Avenue Matignon in the prestigious Golden Triangle district, a second gallery reopening in Dubai, a headquarters at 104 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, and an e-commerce shop for direct-to-consumer sales of decorative items and smaller furniture. Lead generation relies on editorial press features in publications such as Architectural Digest Middle East, AD Magazine France, Elle Décoration, Côté Maison, Homeworthy, and The Good Life France, plus direct referrals and gallery visits within UHNWI and luxury hospitality networks.
