Carla Guilhem Design
Florida-based designer Carla Guilhem developed a passion for interior design while growing up in Brazil with her family, who owned a furniture business. She studied architecture and interior design and lived in Italy and Spain before settling in the US, where she cut her teeth on residential projects in New York and the Flamptons. Guilhem founded her eponymous design studio in 2012, headquartering the business in Miami: “A nexus of cultural and design influences that resonate with my ethos.”
Her foray into yachting came through a client who asked her to design the interior of custom motor yacht Lady Lene. Her brief was to create a home at sea for three generations of the family, a project that ended up winning the 2023 BOAT International Design & Innovation Award for Best Interior. The recognition was “a milestone that cemented our studio’s reputation in the industry”, she recalls.
