This special replay episode features designer and artist Paul Basile, who joined us for our Inspiration series during San Diego Design Week in 2022 (Episode 53). In this conversation, we dive into inspiration and vision. Paul shares how his journey with design began, what led him to create BASILE Studio, and how his work has evolved over the years. We also talk about how he’s incorporating different disciplines and materials into his current projects. I wanted to revisit this conversation because Paul’s journey and process can inspire all of us to learn something new and innovate!About PaulDesigner, developer, fabricator, general contractor and artist, Paul Basile, is the multi-talented founder and principal of BASILE Studio, a prophetic Southern California design firm known for its exhaustive attention to detailed craftsmanship. BASILE Studio’s perpetual drive to mix traditional design methods with expert fabrication and modern-day mechatronics (mechanical engineering + electronics), has earned them a reputation as one of the nation’s most versatile design firms. As a fourth-generation builder himself, Paul Basile started his career with a line of handcrafted furniture in the early 90s. The doors to BASILE Studio opened in San Diego in 1994, evolving into a full-service design and fabrication studio in 2008. In 2016, Basile opened his second art gallery, basileIE, followed shortly after by his custom furniture line, BASILE Built. Paul Basile’s projects have earned wide-ranging critical acclaim including accolades from the American Institute of Architects, San Diego Architectural Foundation, and Hospitality Design Magazine. Paul’s work has been featured in The New York Times, Inc. Magazine, Wall Street Journal, Interior Design, and more.Featured in this episodeFeatured deck: Moon BB Magick Tarot by Angela Mary MagickFeatured beverage: Chiang Rye Black Tea by Paru Tea BarFeatured candle: Beeswax candle from Mithras CandleConnect with Paul and BASILE StudioWebsiteInstagramAre you an interior designer or are you interested in Holistic Interior Design?
