WE BELIEVE DESIGN IS THE SILENT ARCHITECT OF EXPERIENCES.

STEIN STUDIO

Stein Studio is a full service boutique interior design studio specializing in residential and hospitality design. Our studio is based in San Francisco, serving clients nationwide.

Founded by Ellie Stein in 2023, Stein Studio was built on a passion for transforming clients’ visions into transformative, immersive spaces. We craft spaces that nurture memorable experiences, meticulously reflecting client vision and values in every decision. To us, a space is so much more than the items within it, and the final result should always be as unique as the story behind it.

With a strong commitment to a systems-driven approach, we ensure every project is executed with precision and clarity. Clear, transparent communication is the foundation of our process, creating a stress-free and collaborative experience. Whether working on a residential retreat or a high-end hospitality space, we emphasize respect for each client’s investment, delivering results that are timeless, thoughtful, and deeply personal.

WE BELIEVE DESIGN SHOULD TELL A STORY, THAT EACH PIECE SHOULD WORK TOGETHER TO CURATE AN EXPERIENCE THAT LIVES BEYOND ITS FUNCTIONAL USE.

Exceptional design evokes powerful memories and emotions. Consider your most memorable dining experience in a restaurant where the ambiance is carefully crafted: soft candlelight dancing across a well-worn velvet corner booth, creating an intimate setting for shared confidences and laughter.

Or reflect on that cherished coastal retreat—a sanctuary where gentle dawn light filters through gauzy curtains, tempting you to linger beneath luxuriously soft sheets before embarking on another day of treasured family moments.

At our core, we believe design is not merely aesthetic; it is the silent architect of experiences. Our philosophy centers on creating spaces that not only serve as backdrops to life's narratives but actively facilitate and nurture the creation of enduring memories.
