Ingrid Root

Ingrid Root is a multi-faceted interior designer. Cradled since childhood in a world of fabrics and colors, then graduated from Applied Arts at Boulle School. She now sees spaces by inhabiting them with feelings. Let yourself be immersed in her world! From the beginning, she has been guided by a passion: it is the desire that animates what she undertakes. Her work is characterized by a rigorous and original style that embodies her personal and impactful conceptual approach. Her style is marked by oppositions: she knows how to combine contrasts between materials, shapes and lights with elegance. Able to work on all surfaces, she apprehends each new request by following her emotion and letting herself be guided by instinct. Interaction with her clients is the essential pillar of approaching each project. Ingrid sees her mission as the creation of an endless well-being, far from the changing trends that inspire her, but do not dictate her. Above all, what she demands of herself, is to succeed in penetrating the intimacy of the spaces she works on, in order to propose a custom-made, personalized design. She emphasises, that the major challenge of her creation is to find the balance between aesthetics and functionality. To achieve this, she follows the precepts of the one she considers her master, Ed Tuttle. From private houses to historical buildings (Moët et Chandon), from apartments to hotels, Ingrid Root succeeds in offering a new emotion to the spaces thanks to her know-how.
