Ghislaine Viñas: An Exclusive And Radicalist Design World – In today’s article we will help you to know Ghislaine Viñas. The New York-based designer, who was born in the Netherlands and raised in South Africa, has brought her unique multicultural experience to every project she has worked on over the past 22 years. Ghislaine Viñas’s irreverent style is all about turning the end result into a design that expresses laughter, joy, and spontaneity, whether it’s a product, a residential, or a commercial project.
Multiple major design journals and prestigious design awards have honored the designer. “I’m overjoyed that my work has been featured in Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, Interior Design, as well as foreign journals like CovetED Magazine… It feels fantastic; I’m both proud and humbled.”
The award-winning designer is known for her bright personality as well as her shamelessly bold style, which features bright colors, modern designs, art, and fun-loving statement elements. Even before she discovered her passion for design, she had a lively personality with a desire to explore the unknown and step beyond of her comfort zone.
We got the opportunity to meet with the Dutch-born designer and learn some rare insights about her career history and future goals, and today we invite you to enter Ghislaine Viñas’ unconventional universe.
Ghislaine Viñas’ ethnic background is what has shaped her into the daring and accomplished designer she is today. Ghislaine was born in the Netherlands but spent the majority of her life in South Africa until she was 18. She decided to relocate to the United States nine months later to further her studies in Philadelphia, but she had the opportunity to see some of the country’s most renowned cities, including New York, dubbed the “City of Dreams” at the time. So when the opportunity to move to a Tribeca apartment with some of her best friends arose, she didn’t hesitate, and a new chapter in her life began.
The design emerged unexpectedly in Ghislaine’s life after she moved to New York. “I sort of messed around for a while and then ended up taking the wrong metro home, and when I got out at the incorrect subway stop, I saw a modular furniture company, and I walked inside and said, “here’s my CV, I wonder if you have many opportunities.” She worked for that company for 7 years and had the opportunity to learn more about the furniture industry before the largest opportunity of her career presented itself.
“A really good college friend introduced me to a woman my age who was looking to open an office.” Even though I had a full-time job at the time, I went to meet her and do an interview despite the fact that I was working on a lot of office furniture. She told the designer, “Amazing, I think this is going to be great, I think we should work together.” The project was a large 10,000-square-foot office facility on 26th Street, as well as a “hands-on” training experience for the interior designer.
