Studio Quentin: Interior Design as a Way of Life, in the Heart of Monaco
Based in Monaco, Studio Quentin cultivates a unique approach to interior design, where each space is conceived as a place to inhabit, experience, and live to the fullest. Founded by Quentin Chiai, the studio champions a specific vision of luxury: never imposed, but rather suggested and revealed through balanced proportions, high-quality materials, and meticulous attention to detail.
The studio works on a wide variety of projects: private residences in Monaco and along the French Riviera, as well as hospitality venues with a strong identity. Among its most notable projects are two iconic locations: La Rascasse, the emblematic bar at Port Hercule, whose redesign was entrusted by the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer to Quentin Chiai, who created a bold reinterpretation inspired by the world of Formula 1; and the African Queen restaurant at the Hotel Cala di Volpe on the Costa Smeralda, another cult venue where the studio has left its mark, blending elegance with the Mediterranean art of living.
Regardless of the type of project, interior design is never reduced to aesthetics alone. Each project is approached holistically, with a precise understanding of the existing space and its uses. Even before sketching, the studio observes natural light, circulation patterns, proportions, technical constraints, and the habits of those who will live in or frequent the space. This detailed analysis allows for the design of fluid, balanced, and intuitive interiors, where nothing is left to chance.
Materials play a central role in the studio’s design language: richly veined marbles, natural stones, precious woods, refined textiles, and metallic finishes are carefully selected to harmonize with each space. To ensure seamless continuity between concept and execution, Studio Quentin unites interior architecture and custom design under a single vision, developed in collaboration with specialized partners.
Based in Monaco, the studio also operates internationally, upholding the same high standards: creating sustainable and thoughtfully designed interiors—from private residences to public spaces—where the environment becomes a true experience to be savored.
