Chris joined Maestri Studio in 2018, bringing a unique blend of design expertise and retail merchandising experience. With degrees in architecture and business, he has a passion for incorporating collected and meaningful pieces into every project. Named Director of Collections and Collaborations in 2023, he now curates exceptional pieces that bring personality to each space. Outside of work, Chris is all about food, fashion, art, laughter, and all things New York City.
Right now, I’m drawn to deep, moody hues that create an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. My entire downstairs is wrapped in Dark Olive by Benjamin Moore—it’s rich, dramatic, and makes every space feel effortlessly chic.
The finish on surfaces—whether it’s walls, trim, or built-ins—can make or break a space. The right sheen can instantly elevate a room, adding an element of understated elegance, while the wrong choice can have the opposite effect, disrupting the overall harmony.
