Helena Clunies-Ross Design is a New York and London-based international design studio, writing the next chapter in great interior design. As former Design Director of Anouska Hempel Design, Helena has over a decade of experience and is regarded internationally as a leading creative mover and shaker in the industry. Her portfolio encompasses a multitude of styles and genres, and her design ethos of understated luxury is an unmistakable thread through all her work. Though no two projects are the same, all are universally beautiful and timeless in their execution; exuding warmth and sophistication, from her use of clean lines and framed views to the placement of screens, bespoke pieces and the layering of textures. In a single year, Helena will work on between six and ten projects across the globe, ranging from 2,500 to 30,000 sq/m, and is renowned for achieving a seemingly effortless balance of elegance and intelligent design. Her in-house team includes three of her sisters, one of which is her Design Director, Sophia Clunies-Ross. Working under Helena’s guiding hand, they run and manage various elements of the business; offering a highly skilled and personalised service for both residential and hospitality clients. Since its inception five years ago, Helena has quickly grown from a British firm undertaking predominantly domestic projects, to an international design studio, delivering projects from concept design through to completion — from New York to Georgia; Manhattan, The Hamptons, Long Island and beyond. Her work was recently included in Beta-Plus Publishing’s ‘Quiet Luxury’ coffee table style book, featuring her Tribeca Apartments project as one of only “18 exceptional private residences” around the world, showcasing the ultimate “understated yet luxurious style of each home and apartment, with exceptional attention to artisan craftsmanship and perfect execution down to the smallest details.”
