The Layered Lives series is our take on the designer profile, where we have intimate conversations with iconic creatives that go beyond portfolios to reveal the memories, possessions, and passions that shape their aesthetic. Each story is a layered portrait of life as well as design: warm, emotional and human.
You can often pick up on a designer's signature look. Maybe it's a color scheme they stick with, a material they thread through every project, or an aesthetic that's woven into each home. But look at Marie Flanigan's portfolio, and while you'll notice each one is similarly classic and timeless, the common thing they share is not a 'look' but a feeling. All her projects reflect the people who live in them; they are layered and light and elevated, yes, but also laid back and lived in. There's a softness and approachability to her style that's very natural.
