Founded almost 8 years ago, Clive Lonstein’s design studio is comprised of experienced and creative design professionals. Their recent projects include a multi-story boutique development project in Manhattan, a privately run airport in Seattle, and private residences in Aspen, the Bahamas, the Hamptons, and Manhattan. Located in a historic McKim, Mead & White building in downtown Manhattan, the design studio houses a rich library of materials from which to draw inspiration, whether it is an alpine estate modeled after an English country house or the sleek and modern lines of a Miami office. His work has been featured in publications such as Architectural Digest, Wallpaper Magazine, House and Garden UK, Architectural Digest Italia, Galerie Magazine, and L’Officiel.

Prior to opening his own firm, Lonstein served as Design Director at Studio Sofield where he worked on high-end residential, retail, and hospitality projects and with commercial clients ranging from Tom Ford to Boucheron. He subsequently served as a Vice President at Tiffany & Co. where he oversaw the firm’s in-house architecture and design studio.

Lonstein received a Masters of Architecture with distinction from Harvard University. The combination of his architectural training and his background in fine art continues to inform his design and his particular use of form, color and materials. A native of South Africa who has worked on projects in unique locales ranging from Aspen and Bel Air to Geneva and Tokyo, Lonstein has a distinctive ability to meld local traditions and aesthetics with his clients’ and his own tastes and preferences in order to create original concepts.
