60 INTERIOR DESIGN THAT UNLOCKS POTENTIAL AND CREATIVITY CHICAGO’S TOP DESIGN DUO, SKIN, LAUNCHES IN LONDON THIS AUTUMN As we come out of lockdown, having stared at the walls of our homes for what seems like an eternity, our environments have now taken on a new level of importance. This autumn will see a Chicago-based design and lifestyle brand SKIN launch in London, which creates spaces with an emotional impact. SKIN recognises that each client’s needs are different, but the end result is always a renewed sense of self in their new space. Co-founded in 2017, by Interior Designer Lauren Lozano Ziol and Graphic Designer Michelle Jolas, SKIN specialises in classic, timeless interiors with a modern edge, built around each client’s idiosyncrasies and personal story. With an approach to design that starts with getting under the skin of their clients – to uncover different layers of personality, diversity and taste – Lauren and Michelle’s aim is to create environments that surround people with beautiful things they love, which inspire confidence, ambition, passion and creativity. Colours, organisation, textures and pattern all have the power to change a mood.
