Paris Forino – Interior Designer & Founder is an internationally acclaimed Australian interior designer, celebrated for her refined and thoughtful approach to modern luxury. Since establishing her New York–based studio in 2012, she has become one of the most respected voices in contemporary design, trusted by leading real estate developers, renowned architects, tastemakers, and discerning private clients worldwide.

With over two decades of experience and more than 5 million square feet of interiors designed across the globe, Paris’s portfolio spans luxury residential, multi-family, and hospitality projects, as well as custom furnishings, in cities including New York, Toronto, Miami, San Francisco, and Stockholm. She has designed more than 5,000 residences—from apartments and condominiums to guest rooms—and over 475,000 square feet of communal environments, including lobbies, lounges, restaurants, fitness centers, bars, and offices. Her work is defined by thoughtful finishes, a cohesive narrative, and a style that feels both enduring and distinctly modern.

Her projects have consistently set new benchmarks in the market. The Edison Gramercy, a 54-unit condominium, was cited for its “unprecedented sales velocity,” while The Steiner was the #1–selling residential building in Manhattan at launch. Other notable works include the full gut renovation of the former Forbes Mansion, later sold for $21.9M; 85 Worth Street in Manhattan; The Amalfi in Fort Lauderdale; two Tishman Speyer Mission Rock towers in San Francisco; The Corner House in Stockholm; as well as 222 East Broadway, 259 Second Avenue, VU New York, and Galerie in Long Island City.

Current projects include 660 Lexington, 95 Madison Avenue (The Emmet Building), 440 West 57th Street, 813 Broadway – La Maison Colette, and One Park Row. Paris has also created celebrated private residences, including The Happy, Pink-Toned Forever Home of Million Dollar Listing’s Fredrik Eklund in Beverly Hills—featured in Architectural Digest and praised by critics and design enthusiasts alike—as well as 169 Hudson, a widely published project recognized across leading outlets.

From her New York City headquarters, Paris leads a studio of international talent that continues to shape projects throughout New York, The Hamptons, Miami, Washington DC, Toronto, and beyond. With each commission, she brings her signature design ethos: a masterful command of proportion, a reverence for historical nuance, and a refined modern sensibility. Her interiors are defined by tactile richness and bespoke detailing—spaces that are as functional as they are timeless.

Paris’s work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, Interior Design, LUXE, Homes & Gardens, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, NBC’s Open House TV, and more. She was named a “Star on the Rise” by the Decoration & Design Building, and the New York Post ranked her firm among the “Top 4 Firms Designing New York City.” In 2025, she received the LUXE RED Award for Residential Excellence in Design, and her work has been recognized in teNeues’ Interior Design Review: Best Interior Design on the Planet and Defining Style: The Book of Interior Design.

Beyond her design practice, Paris is a sought-after speaker and panelist, regularly invited to share her insights at leading forums such as ICFF, and other major international conferences. She frequently speaks on the evolving definition of luxury, the intersection of architecture and interiors, and the future of residential and hospitality design.

Paris holds an Honors Degree in Design from the University of Technology, Sydney, and is a proud WBENC-certified business owner, recognized as part of a distinguished network of women-led enterprises.
