WHO WE ARE
ATHAINA MAKAR
Rooted in a passion for merging old-world character with contemporary refinement, the studio’s design philosophy is shaped by a deep appreciation for history, craftsmanship and timeless beauty. With a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Interior Design, and experience spanning luxury hospitality and residential projects across local and international markets, each interior is approached as an opportunity to create something deeply considered and enduring.
Beyond aesthetics, the studio creates immersive environments that evoke a sense of connection, warmth and discovery. Whether reimagining a century-old home or creating a bespoke new build, every project thoughtfully balances the familiar with the unexpected, preserving the essence and allure of the past while introducing a distinctly contemporary perspective.
Founder & Principal Designer
ETHOS
Like clay, a space begins with possibility. Through craftsmanship, intention and time, it becomes something enduring. Studio Clae creates interiors shaped by the same philosophy—layered, tactile and designed to grow richer with life.
Drawing inspiration from our clients’ stories, nature’s foundational beauty and classic architectural elements, we form spaces with longevity. Like a sculpted masterpiece, a space by Studio Clae will age gracefully, becoming more storied with time. It does not aim to be the loudest but rather aspires to be the most evocative, with deep layers of subtle detail to discover.
We strive for elegant, understated, and sophisticated design that feels both luxurious and livable. Each of our spaces is designed to tell an important story – your story.
