TO THE PEOPLE
WHO WILL ENJOY IT
THE STUDIO
Our design studio is in the heart of Manhattan at 1133 Broadway.
Basking in sunlight from the historic building’s original skylights on the top floor, this is our creative workshop where we hold client presentations and also house our extensive sample library of specialized materials including trade-only fabric, stone, floor and wall coverings, tile, glass, and any physical sample we employ within our bespoke design work.
Our team is comprised of Meg, her design assistant, a seasonal intern, our beloved Bookkeeper Lidija, and a small external team for marketing, social media, and PR.
MEET MEG
In 2015, Meg Lavalette launched LAVA | interiors, a high end residential interior design firm, from her New York City apartment after studying at Parsons School of Design and working for several AD100 interior design and architecture firms before opening her own.
Born and raised in Greenwich, Connecticut, her love for custom interiors originated in growing up among storied historical estates and buildings. She currently splits her time between New York City and the Catskills.
Meg was named Designers to Watch 2023 by 1stDibs, the leading global marketplace for luxury, one-of-a-kind design. A profile on how she approaches her creative work is featured in the 2024 sold out book ‘/be-spok/: a philosophy of beauty’ published by Benton Buckley Books, which features a curated collection of 30 of the world’s most innovative, visionary interior designers.
OUR SERVICES
We accept a select number of full service projects, as Meg fully immerses herself to develop bespoke interiors for each unique client. An emphasis is placed on quality craftmanship, authentic materials, and one of a kind pieces to tell a unique story when skillfully combined. The full service process takes projects from conception through completion by overseeing all phases of the process including renovation, decoration, and project management.
We also offer Design Only where we plan the creative work to hand over for our clients to execute themselves, as well as In Person and Virtual Consultations.
THE SHOP
LAVA has blossomed into a lifestyle over the past several years, with offshoots stretching into the Catskills of upstate New York. The shop, LAVA atelier, opened Summer 2022 and is a seasonal storefront in the 19th century brick Italianate structure Meg is restoring on Main Street in the charming historic village of Franklin.
Directly above the shop is LAVA | loft, which opened Fall 2022, and is a shoppable accommodation where visitors can reserve the entire two bedroom loft on airbnb, as well as purchase any of the furnishings or decorative items used throughout the space.
