Enjoy a lively engaging presentation with world renowned interior designer Alex Papachristidis, in conversation with Stacey Bewkes of Quintessence.
Alex Papachristidis has been described as thoughtful, personal, sophisticated, and eclectic. Having mastered the skill of fusing modern and traditional elements, editors, designers, and clients alike use the word “fresh” to define his elegant approach, color palette, and the delightful details that make even a small room sizzle with style. Mario Buatta calls Alex Papachristidis “one of today’s eminent tastemakers. Known for arresting, elegant interiors that meld classical motifs with a modern perspective and sophisticated details.”
Born and raised in New York City, Papachristidis got his first big commission-a large Manhattan apartment-while a student at Parsons School of Design. This quickly led to a second project, a townhouse, for a couple he met at a dinner party in the South of France. “Once I started,” says Alex, “I never looked back. I established my own firm in 1987. Even now, I find decorating the most fulfilling career. I can’t imagine doing anything else. Growing up, I traveled widely and saw many beautiful homes in Europe and America, which helped cultivate my eye. And I was born to shop!”
Papachristidis' first book "The Age of Elegance: Interiors" was published by Rizzoli in 2012 and is now in its third printing. TheSocietyDiaries.com called it an “extraordinary book on how you too can obtain [Papachristidis’] one of a kind ‘look,’” and Tribune Media Services praised the book’s “sophisticated interiors that highlight antiques from all eras,” and its “solid tips written in the author’s voice making the haute interiors seem doable.” His latest book, "The Elegant Life, Rooms that Welcome and Inspire" will be released September 2022.
Today, Papachristidis’ interiors can be found all over the world from Manhattan, the Hamptons, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Florida, Texas and Colorado-to London and Saudi Arabia. Papachristidis has been named to the AD100 List, Elle Décor’s “A-List of 25 Interior Designers,” and the NY Spaces’ “Top 50 Designers List.”
