Material Wonder

Fiona Lynch

Interiors of the future: artist turned interior designer Fiona Lynch explores new materials and artisanal techniques to craft unique spaces.

Fiona Lynch transforms the unyielding into the poetic. In her hands, the hardest materials—stone, metal, wood—become fluid, expressive, and alive. She sees worlds of possibility within them: the deep greens of forests and the shifting blues of the ocean within granite tiles, or the softness of liquid movement honed into creamy marble. What first appears as clean-lined minimalism reveals itself to be rich with layers of technique, texture and quiet complexity—spaces that evolve the longer you look, the longer you live within them.

Named Design Anthology’s Female Designer of the Year in 2021 and recognized by Architectural Digest Germany as one of the world’s true design influencers, Fiona Lynch is renowned for her mastery of materiality and mood. Offering an intimate look at her process, where every project begins with deep research, sketching and an intuitive connection to materials, this monograph offers a rare glimpse into the visionary designer’s world, where stone, metal, wood, and textiles are shaped into interiors of quiet complexity and lasting beauty.
