Luxury interiors are defined by the details—the textures, proportions, and artistry that can only be achieved through collaboration with master makers. In this panel, moderator Jennie Bishop of Bishop Studio leads a conversation with designers Nicholas Moriarty, Amhad Freeman, Elizabeth Taich, and Interior Crafts’s own Emily Ursini to explore how custom upholstery and bespoke furniture elevate a project from beautifully designed to truly extraordinary. The discussion highlights the art of designing for individuality: integrating handcrafted elements, selecting materials with intention, and partnering with artisans to bring unique visions to life. Panelists will also share how today’s discerning clients value the story and authenticity of bespoke pieces—and why true craftsmanship has become a powerful differentiator in a world saturated with mass-market offerings. Join us for an inspiring conversation on the future of custom design—where timeless quality, artistry, and innovation intersect to create interiors of lasting impact.
