You won’t find hand-waving woo-woo designers or green-visored killjoys here. There’s too much leaping back and forth from right brain to left brain, doing design that is both beautiful and practical, and the constant push, push, push against boundaries. We know we’re unusual. We revel in it. Our clients can’t stop talking about it.
Meet HVL Interiors
Heather Van Luchene, ASID
Founding Principal
Revered for a style that is both intellectual and intuitive, Heather founded the firm in 2001 as the only sensible way to channel memories of summer days spent in her aunt’s impeccably decorated house, long hours imbibing the spirit (and the tea) of the old Takashimaya department store in New York City, and degrees from St John’s College and the New York School of Design into something that does what she’s always wanted to do: bring people joy.
That, and it offered a snazzy excuse to have an unlimited supply of yellow sticky notes, which along with coffee (single-source, perfectly roasted, and hand ground, natch), enable not only the inspiring and oftentimes breathtaking design for which she’s known, but also the clear-eyed and determined work of building the business and ensuring that it delivers on its storytelling promise—every day to every client.
