About

Hi, I’m Cristina Albertini Bahnarel, a senior interior architect with over 20 years of experience shaping high-end residential and cultural projects across Paris, the Côte d’Azur and beyond. I have led projects for luxury brands and discerning clients, including Hermès, Baccarat, Philippe Starck, Isabel Marant and Jérôme Dreyfuss, combining elegance with practical execution.

I enjoy collaborating with architectural agencies, coordinating artisans and FF&E, and guiding projects from concept through delivery. I also explore new tools and AI-assisted methods to support reflection and stabilize complex briefs, while keeping a human-centered, hands-on approach to design and project management.
