AMY LAU DESIGN


Founded in 2001, Amy Lau Design creates interiors known for their warmth, expressiveness and impeccable attention to detail. Amy has a reverence for the inherent beauty of natural materials and landscapes. Embracing both art and design, each personalized space is enlivened with dynamic mixes of vintage and contemporary pieces. Lauded by Architectural Digest for her "All-encompassing vision of inspired, artful living that elevates mere finesse into the realm of pure magic". The Arizona native developed a deep passion for design and honed her curatorial eye studying eminent historians. She received her master’s in fine and decorative art from the prestigious Sotheby’s Institute of Art. She then served as a director at Thomas O’Brien’s Aero and spent five years as the design director of noted mid-century specialist Lin-Weinberg Gallery in New York City. Amy Lau Design published a monograph of her work in 2011 with The Monacelli Press, and Amy accepted an honorary doctorate from New York School of Interior Design the following year. Amy’s singular, successful approach to design and the curatorial arts has earned her firm many of the most prized awards in design, including the House Beautiful Next-Wave Award, Architectural Digests, AD 100 Award, Luxe Interiors + Design Gold List and New York Magazine's Top 100 List. In 2005, Amy co-created Design.05, which later went on to become the Design Miami fair, to showcase the most significant purveyors of vintage and contemporary furnishings internationally. Occurring alongside the Art Basel fairs in Miami and Switzerland the fair brings together the most influential collectors, gallerist, designers and critics from around the world to celebrate design.
