Chiara de Rege
Interior Designer
Since establishing her Manhattan based firm in 2010, Chiara de Rege is recognized for creating an impressive range of residential and commercial interiors. Chiara brings a detail-oriented focus to every aspect of her projects. She enjoys working with different aesthetics and tailors her designs to create consistently unique environments. Chiara’s appreciation for interior design sparked while traveling between New York City and Italy during her childhood. Her first career at Vogue magazine, where she worked as an editor and stylist, allowed Chiara to seamlessly transition to interiors, working at such design firms as Molly Isaksen Interiors, Nickey Kehoe, and Suzanne Rheinstein. During this time, she gained invaluable experience and exposure to a vast resource of internationally acclaimed craftsmen, artists and dealers. Whether designing a celebrity’s home in the Hollywood Hills, a polished Upper East Side apartment, a contemporary urban loft, corporate offices in both New York city and Los Angeles, an all women’s membership club, retail stores or several upscale city restaurants, Chiara de Rege delivers unparalleled service and superior design acumen. All of her projects share a timeless sensibility brought to life with a mix of modern and traditional furnishings -- many custom-designed for each project. Chiara often goes well beyond the normal scope, by designing custom stationary, linens, amenities, dinnerware, flatware and libraries, and also works extensively on branding concept and design for each of her commercial projects. Chiara de Rege has clients across the U.S., including California, Connecticut, New York, and Washington, D.C. Her work has been featured in such publications as AD, Elle Decor, InStyle,Town & Country and Vogue, Wallpaper.
