About us

Nelly Zafirov Designs Ltd is an interior design practice based in Zurich and Gstaad, specialising in both residential and commercial projects. Along with our commitment to a timeless aesthetic, quality and comfort, the main objective of our work is to design highly personalised interiors, finely aligned with the psycho-emotional and physical needs of the individuals who live and/or work in these environments.

Trained at Inchbald School of Design, London and with an academic background in the arts, Nelly has a profound understanding of aesthetic styles and their historical roots. Believing that design can make spaces healthier and happier places to be, she has focused on the psychology of interior design, creating person-centred interiors that take into account the mental and physical needs of the residents as well as the specific goals they want to achieve.

“Believing that all the components of our surroundings affect our mood, thoughts and behaviour, I apply the achievements of environmental psychology and evidence-based cognitive and neuroscience in my work to create subtly personalised interiors that promote individual’s growth and well-being… because for me interior designing has more worthwhile function than positioning beautiful objects in comfortable arrangements.”
