Interior designer Celeste Dell’Anna’s distinctive interiors are an adventure in sophistication. Unrestrainedly opulent or urbane and understated, traditional or cutting-edge contemporary, Studio Dell’Anna designs are glimpses of a unique world of interiors where artistic fantasy and architectural rigour have produced new and breathtaking harmonies. While Milan and London, where Studio Dell’Anna is based, form the principal axis of the designer’s activity, his presence is global, with ongoing interior design projects throughout Europe as well as the United States and the Middle East.
The world of interiors is overwhelmed nowadays with design commissions that are streamlined and standardized to the detriment of the individual and the original. Celeste Dell’Anna’s distinctive personal style brands an interior design project irrespective of whether it tends to the classical or to the modern in its conception. What the lavish traditional villa surrounded by Alpine countryside and the contemporary urban dwelling in the centre of London – or the private jet and the sleek motor yacht that bespeak the 21st century – have in common, in this Milanese interior designer’s hands, is that each of these design projects bears the Studio Dell’Anna impress of sophisticated individuality.
A new equilibrium of interior design and architecture, of texture and space, of classicism and modernity, is the aesthetic hallmark of Studio Dell’Anna. Fantasy tempered by discipline, innovation inspired by the natural properties of materials, sublime poetry of interior design dictated by the client’s individual exigencies, such were the lessons learnt by Celeste Dell’Anna from his masters, Renzo Mongiardino among them. Later experience taught him the rest, from classicism’s control of interior space to modernism’s audacious design solutions.
It is above all his ebullient individualism, focused and unyielding when the issue is aesthetics, flexible and accommodating when the issue is the client’s needs, that has made Celeste Dell’Anna the interior designer of choice for the princes of the blood as well as for the kings of industry and commerce. In 1983, Celeste Dell’Anna established Studio Dell’Anna, his architectural and interior design practice, in Milan, near the Academy of Brera. This was followed by the Studio’s filiale offices at the Design Centre in Chelsea Harbour in London.
With the assistance of his international team of interior designers and architects in Milan and London, Celeste Dell’Anna personally follows commissions undertaken by Studio Dell’Anna, including private residences and yachts, as well as hotels and commercial properties, in every corner of the world.
