Studio Keiko is an architectural interior design studio founded by Keiko Harada, an artist who emphasizes modern, clean, and contemporary design. Specializing in boutique designs for commercial and real estate spaces, the studio leverages Keiko’s experience in three regional styles to create spaces that outlast fleeting trends, Knewz.com has learned.
The fresh, functional spaces created by Studio Keiko are built to last.
The Mind Behind the Studio
Keiko has worked and studied worldwide, including in Italy, Japan, and the United States. In Milan, she spent some time working under Piero Lissoni (Lissoni & Partners), and pursued a master’s degree in Interior Design from Scuola Politecnica di Design. In the United States, she earned a design degree from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles, earning another at Doshisha University in Kyoto. Before opening her studio, Keiko spent another ten years as the senior designer at Boffi, Los Angeles.
For Keiko, the details make a space beautiful, and the world around her continually inspires her designs. She hears music, feels nature, and sees fashion that seamlessly integrates into her environment. She envisions the spaces they reflect in, inspired to create the place someone would want to come home to.
A Stylistic Fusion
Through her work, study, and travels, Keiko has immersed herself in three distinct cultures, environments, and imaginations, which form the foundation of her design philosophy. By merging elements of Italian, Japanese, and American design, Keiko creates a new and refreshing style for spaces that draw you in and make you feel welcome.
The interior designer has crafted the homes from Hollywood, Malibu to Montecito, marked by cleanliness, beauty, and calm. These warm and inviting spaces emphasize natural woods, sleek surfaces, open windows, and minimalist concepts.
A Walkthrough of Studio Keiko’s Process
To provide the highest quality interior design services, Studio Keiko works closely with its clients throughout the design process. From concept to construction, they ensure client satisfaction while implementing designs with quality and resilience.
Work with Studio Keiko begins in the initial conception phase. The client meets with a designer through a series of meetings and consultations. Studio Keiko presents design concepts, reviewing materials, colors, themes, and reference images that best reflect the client’s vision, lifestyle, and personality. Through clear and effective communication, Studio Keiko works diligently to develop the perfect interior schematic design.
During the design development phase, Studio Keiko uses the information gathered to create an outline of the space and furniture layouts. This outline guides the construction process. Studio Keiko monitors the project closely to ensure it progresses as planned and coordinates with the client to oversee the practical implementation of the design.
Art Advisory Services
In addition to its comprehensive interior design and architecture offerings, Studio Keiko provides art advisory services to further elevate the aesthetic experience of the spaces they design. Keiko and her team work closely with clients to curate bespoke art collections that complement their interiors. Whether selecting existing artwork or commissioning custom pieces, the studio ensures that each selection harmonizes with the overall design, adding depth, meaning, and personal expression to the space. This personalized approach enhances the emotional and visual impact of the environment, making each space not only functional but also an expression of art.
Studio Keiko’s Signature Style
Through these phases, Studio Keiko promises that your space will be unique, fresh, and beautiful, marked by their signature style. Whether it’s a modern home, commercial project, or a carefully curated art collection, Studio Keiko transforms routine spaces into timeless, artful environments that reflect the client’s vision and lifestyle.
