About

I’m Cade Christner, an interior designer based in Milan, with a background that blends spatial design, sculpture, and hands-on fabrication. I enjoy creating environments where materiality, proportion, and lighting work together to tell a clear story—drawing from my training in interior design and my experience building and refining objects in glass, bronze, and concrete.

I also bring strong creative communication and client-facing service skills from fine-dining and gallery settings. Whether developing concepts in AutoCAD/3ds Max, preparing visual presentations, or advising on finishes, I focus on detail, craft education, and a polished final outcome. I’m especially motivated by projects where design, aesthetics, and functionality meet.
