In Interior Design, it is often stated and shown by the world’s most influential luxury design publications that high-end residential interior design is primarily about the visual experience.  Lafia/Arvin (“L/A”) has been named to the Robb Report’s exclusive 2008 List of the Top 40 Interior Designers of the World, and is listed as the highest rated Interior Design Firm in The Franklin Report. 

Our Interior Design projects are regularly published in Architectural Digest, The Robb Report, Coastal Living, Florida Design Magazine, Trends Magazines, California Homes and other highly regarded luxury interior design publications.   Rolls-Royce/Bentley featured Lafia/Arvin as its Exclusive Interior Designer in its 2008 International Desk Diary for all Owners since they considered our design and service equivalent to the luxury that they offer.

We are also pleased to announce the publication of our new hard-bound coffee table book "Signature Estates & Getaways, Luxury Interior Design by Lafia/Arvin Design" (available for direct purchase from L/A at our cost, please email or contact our offices for information).  Please visit a sampling of our projects from the Book by making your selection below on this page. 

Here are a few recent quotes directly from clients and the media from our website.  We look forward to discussing your special Estate/Main Residence or Getaway!

Bernadette Leonard and Sugar Ray Leonard: We had the pleasure of meeting Monique Lafia fifteen years ago. I was immediately impressed by how easily she not only made me feel, but more importantly how comfortable she made my husband feel throughout the process, which can be difficult at times for some men. She has the most exquisite taste, and her eye for detail is amazing! Her design team made the process enjoyable. They have managed to make the follow-up process so EASY! We have continued to use her as our designer and she has all so helped us with our vacation property. We have felt confidant to recommend her to our close friends and family. They have now had the pleasure of working with her!

Robb Report: Lafia/Arvin (Top 40 Designer of the World) is known for never passing any of the design decisions onto an associate—the principals handle everything, and distinguished by originality (if you are a friend of a client, you will not see their design in your residence).

Oprah Winfrey Television Show: Testimonial by Oprah that the Lafia/Arvin Designed Residence in Montecito published Architectural Digest is one of the most beautiful estates that she has ever seen.

Director of Photography HG TV:   “[Your Bel-Air Estate project for our HG TV Top 10 Designer Program for 2009] was beautiful (thought it was among the nicest [I have] shot and [I] shot many!).  It was really a pleasure to meet  and work with you”.
