Simone Haag

“Simone Haag is one of those people you would kill to have on your team. She is supremely professional, preternaturally stylish and has a disposition that can charm birds out of the trees. As a former member of one of Australia’s best design firms, she enthusiastically promoted and polished projects (all given her style sparkle) to relevant media, whose trust and respect she effortlessly earned.

Best of all, Simone can intuit the future before it shapes. She gets the great indefinable ‘it’; that next-wave of wonderment that we, in magazine land, spend our days trying to second-guess. I can’t wait to see where her style journey leads…”

— Annemarie Kiely, Melbourne editor, Vogue Living

BODY OF WORK

The projects from the Simone Haag studio are developed embracing the core values of Discovery, Connection, Significance and Belief. The design team discover memories and make memorable moments. They seek meaningful and inspiring connections in all that they curate and create. 

ABOUT

In design, the biggest marker of time is trend, so making design timeless is often about making it ‘trendless.’ In other words, steering away from current trends naturally establishes a pathway to timeless design. It means finding a unique response to a space or place, one that draws on context, narrative, personal style, functionality and all those beautiful parameters that become pillars of any interior design project. For our studio, that is where the magic lies. We lean into the qualities of our clients’ existing spaces and what they ultimately want from them. As we talk to them, and learn about them and their motivations for engaging a designer, a few anchor furniture, lighting, art or styling pieces often emerge to become the fixed stars around which everything else orbits. Allowing for this natural creative evolution, extruding from it and mentally drawing upon the massive catalogue that lives in my mind and the minds of the talented women at Simone Haag means that anything the studio creates, the constellations we curate, are entirely unique and, to me, that’s the epitome of timelessness.
