Designer Life

Aviva Stanoff Design Studio

Aviva Stanoff founded her eponymous design studio in 2004, and formalized the company as a home décor brand in 2007 as Aviva Stanoff Design. Since then, she has manufactured and sourced home décor creations that embody deliberate luxury. The artisanal point of view that makes her products singular is Aviva’s attention to detail, which flows from her creative spirit. This extends back to include generations of makers with Japanese and Eastern European roots. “I celebrate that I am a woman business owner and a child of immigrants,” says Aviva. “I feel dutiful to honor these forces that helped shape me by continuing the legacy they began.” Aviva sees every product she designs as a canvas regardless of the material forming it, a sentiment that inspired the Brooklyn Museum of Art to include her surfaces designs in their permanent collection.
About

Deliberate Luxury

The confluence of a reverence for nature, intentional design, and artistry amplified by a philanthropic spirit. We are woman-owned, 90% minority and Made-in-the-USA. Founded in 2003 on the Lower East Side of NYC, Aviva’s artistry is deeply rooted in her ancestry, tracing back 17 generations in Japan. Practicing textile design is the way she honors those that came before her.

Journey

After earning her MFA, Aviva’s triumphs centered around the runways. Her mentor was Alexander McQueen’s textile designer via Central Saint Martins in London. Early invitations to collaborate included Christian Dior, Givenchy, Donna Karan among many others. She was known for her uncanny ability to balance  unparalleled innovation, biophilic sophistication, and luxurious function.  The legendary Li Edelkoort commissioned her for projects.  She entered home décor as an intern at Calvin Klein Home and by graduation she had a mention in Vogue for her textiles and a fire in her belly.

Begininngs

In 2004 she launched her brand in Brooklyn earning a “Best Bet” mention from The New York Times. Distinguished retailers have included Bergdorfs, Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Tiffany & Co, Takashimaya, ABC Carpet, Harrods, and Home Goods. She began licensing in 2006 with York Wall Covering and continues to grow her offerings with anchors in the industry. Her portfolio includes Kravet, Cyan Design, Currey & Company, York Wallcoverings, Global Views/Studio A, and LeftBank Art. In 2011, the Brooklyn Museum recognized Aviva’s talent and 17 of her textile designs became part of their permanent collection, a testament to her creative spirit and passion for her craft.
