About Mandarina Studio
Mandarina Studio is a Boston-based interior design practice focused on refined residential interiors shaped by proportion, material, and continuity.
The studio works on full-home renovations and large-scale furnishing projects across both historic and contemporary residences. Each project is approached holistically, with decisions carried through every layer of the home, from spatial planning and architectural detail to furnishings, lighting, and materials.
The work is grounded in clarity and restraint. Interiors are composed rather than assembled, with an emphasis on balance, longevity, and how a home is lived in over time.
The studio is led by the Principal and operates as a small, highly focused practice. Each project is personally directed, with close collaboration across all phases of design and execution.
