Jun22596 16 | LUXlife Magazine A creative visionary, Alison Antrobus accredits the foundation and ethos of her career in design to her Caribbean heritage, her unique academic training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and her valuable work experience alongside the legends of design, including Philippe Starck, Axel Vervoordt, and the work of the late David Hicks. Boasting extensive experience in the industry, alongside a range of talent across all creative disciplines, Alison explores interior and product design through the lens of a painter, sculptor, fashion designer, and artist. This unique perspective adds layered details to her work, relaying the inimitable narrative of each project undertaken. Prior to establishing her own practice, Alison started her career with international architecture firm Perkins&Will. Following this, Alison went on to become an on-site Liaison for the late Sir David Hicks and Axel Vervoordt for large luxury homes in Miami, working alongside Artisans from all over the World. It was after years of this bespoke on-site experience that she refers to as her master’s degree in design working with such Legends that she was tapped to open the Miami-based design studio for YOO Ltd, a design development firm based in London, with industry leader Philippe Starck at its helm. These varied experiences have well-equipped Alison with robust expertise in design, business acumen, leadership skills, and a wide-ranging professional network, all essential qualities to aid her in successfully opening and running her own firm. It was this rich exposure to Luxury residential work that she quickly understood that this was a space where creativity had no boundaries. In her own words, “ This was a market that offered the time and budget to explore details and materials unlike any other.” Maintaining the momentum of her quickly accelerating career, Alison established her own Interior Design studio in 2002. Over the last two decades, Alison’s unbridled talent has gained her Global recognition, multiple International Property Awards, and a long roster of A-list clients who depend upon her creative vision to deliver luxurious properties, adding value that often shatters real estate record sales. This has been Alison’s mission since the very moment she entered the industry and has driven every step she has taken towards leading Antrobus Design Collective to new heights. Jan25025 Leading Luxury Through Transformative Interior Design Interior design plays an integral role in transforming rooms into functional and aesthetically pleasing environments, curating spaces that are not only visually appealing but specifically tailored towards the inhabitants. At its core, the art form is about understanding how people interact with their environment and utilising this knowledge to improve their experiences. Antrobus Design Collective understands this well, and has in fact built itself upon the mission of creating transformative spaces that are both timeless and memorable. We learn more from Alison Antrobus, Founding Principle, below. Antrobus Design Collective is a multidisciplinary design studio renowned across the industry for creating transformative spaces that are as enduring as they are unforgettable. The firm’s ethos revolves around inspiring wellbeing through the environments it curates and understands that the terms ‘memorable’ and wellbeing’ can mean something very different to each person. Therefore, an essential component of its service offerings lies in expertly listening to every client it serves to ensure the total success of each project. The firm opts to approach design collectively and collaboratively, focusing on delivering unique properties and products. Antrobus Design Collective provides a comprehensive suite of interior design services that will take a project from conceptual studies through to the finished product, utilizing a variety of mediums to develop each project, from hand sketches to embracing the sophistication of AI. Despite the machine of information used in the design process, Alison says that it is the quality of the relationships at every stage of design that remains the most important element to the success of the projects and that of the Firm. In Alison’s words, “At the centre of every step of the design phase exists an attention to the relationships we build with each other as a team, not just with our designers but with all whom we work with, locally and internationally. The quality of these relationships is the most important element to our success, and ultimately the satisfaction of each client.” For more than two decades, Antrobus Design Collective has successfully shaped itself into an industry leader, under the careful guidance of Alison and her industry expertise. “Our brand identity has evolved out of our very layered and detailed projects, built upon strong creative narratives unique to each project, paired with integrity and grace of conduct.” Alison tells us. “We approach every project like a movie script, distinctive to its characters and setting, which promotes a very diverse portfolio of projects. This would not be possible if we did not see with our ears, listen with our eyes, and remain insatiably curious.” This approach has been remarkably effective for Antrobus Design Collective as demonstrated with their multiple Awards and continued
