Clive Lonstein
Born South Africa, 1972
Known for his innovative approach to rich minimalist interiors and reductive architecture, Lonstein is an acclaimed designer, and architect based in New York. His work draws inspiration from an extensive library of materials and diverse influences, including travel, art, fashion, and nature. With a combination of architectural training and a background in fine art, Lonstein expertly blends form, color, and materials
Lonstein’s design expertise extends beyond interiors and architecture into custom furniture. His inaugural collection, exclusively for STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN, includes a dining table, coffee tables, console tables, and side tables, with lamps to follow. His designs reflect his architectural philosophy: minimalist in form, yet rich in material, and effortlessly adaptable to a range of aesthetics—from traditional to contemporary, avant-garde to modern. These functional works of art offer a dynamic interplay of transparency, light, and geometric form, allowing each to transform with changing environments. As he continues to explore new directions in furniture design, Lonstein’s work remains anchored in his commitment to rich design that is as practical as it is beautiful
Lonstein received a Master of Architecture with distinction from Harvard University. Before founding his own firm, he served as Design Director for Studio Sofield, managing high-end projects for prestigious clients such as Gucci, YSL and Tom Ford, and was Vice President at Tiffany & Co., overseeing their global architecture and design studio
