OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe in the power of beauty to shape how we live, how we feel, and the moments we create around us.
Atelier 88 is drawn to spaces with soul - where contemporary design meets craftsmanship, where textures, colours and objects come together naturally, and where every detail has a reason to be there.
We seek out pieces with character and stories worth telling, creating interiors and tablescapes that feel collected, considered and deeply personal. Because, for us, beauty is not about perfection. It is about creating spaces that feel like you.
THE FOUNDER
Theresa Lunardon-Monteiro is the Founder and Creative Director of Atelier 88. Originally from Austria, she has spent more than two decades living and working across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, experiences that continue to shape her distinctive creative perspective. She is now based in Singapore.
Her aesthetic is defined by the meeting of contemporary and timeless design, enriched by craftsmanship and objects with a story. Inspired by nature, art, texture, and a nuanced use of colour, she curates interiors and tablescapes that feel warm, layered, and deeply personal.
At the heart of her work is the belief that beauty has the power to transform everyday life. Through thoughtful interiors, bespoke tablescapes, and carefully curated furnishings, Theresa creates spaces that reflect the people who inhabit them and invite a lasting sense of connection.
