Background

Tatiana de Nicolay is a globetrotting product designer, independent creative consultant, and watercolor illustrator whose passion for art permeates her daily life. Her work is deeply influenced by her extensive travels across Egypt and India, reflecting a blend of diverse cultural elements. After honing her embroidery skills in Paris with renowned designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Manish Arora, and Tarun Tahiliani, Tatiana discovered a new love for interior design in London. Her creative journey led her to collaborate with prestigious brands like Cabana Magazine, Diptyque, Dior, Lobmeyr, Invisible Collection and Jaipur Rugs.

Signature Style

Tatiana’s work is characterized by a fusion of intricate cultural influences and her refined artistic skills. Her background in embroidery, developed under the tutelage of Manish Arora in India, is evident in her detailed and delicate designs. Tatiana’s work in London with Cabana Magazine and her collaborations with brands like Dior and Monoprix highlight her ability to seamlessly blend traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Her watercolor illustrations and fine, charming style are a testament to her respect for nature, often featuring delicate designs such as hand-painted branches and birds. Her work continues to inspire and captivate, with each piece reflecting her global experiences and deep connection to the art of design.

Showstoppers

One of Tatiana’s most notable projects is the “Earthly Paradise” collection, a collaboration with her former pattern-making teacher, Gora, from her time at a fashion school in Florence, and her cousin Elena, a Belgian-Spanish lawyer with a keen eye for aesthetics. This collection showcases Tatiana’s ability to bring together talented individuals to create something truly unique. The same can be said of her latest project, the stunning Jardins du Monde rug collection, crafted in collaboration with the renowned brand Jaipur Rugs.
