A way of seeing

Every space has its own identity — its architecture, its history, its proportions, the atmosphere it carries. I start by listening to what is already there.

Light is always my starting point. It reveals the character of a space, changes the perception of colour and guides the relationship between materials, textures and volumes.

"Susan Petioky, interior designer in Milan — Beyond Decoration".

I believe interiors need a moment of unexpectedness. A contrast, a piece that creates tension and curiosity — playful, unconventional or slightly ironic. It is what gives a space its own voice and keeps it from becoming predictable.

NABA in Milan gave me the craft — interior design, technical drawing, 3D. The rest I owe to art, nature, architecture, travel, and a curiosity that has never stopped looking.

Design, styling, collectible sourcing — one aim: spaces that go beyond decoration.
