Monica Poletti
Interior Design Consultant – Colour Consultant
I have been working as a freelance interior designer, mainly in the residential and hospitality fields, developing tailor-made projects that translate people’s stories, values and needs into spatial narratives. My work ranges from private homes to restaurants, hotels, concept stores and workspaces, often with a strong focus on atmosphere, light and colour as drivers of identity and experience. Over the years, I have also collaborated with several architecture firms and contributed to projects that explicitly address well-being.
In parallel, for almost thirty years I have been engaged in an intensive path of inner research, including meditation, mindfulness, Hatha yoga and self-inquiry, as well as leading guided meditations and organising workshops. This sustained inner work has profoundly shaped the way I look at space: for me, interiors are not just functional containers but living environments that interact with people’s emotions, behaviours and sense of self.
In recent years, I have developed a personal approach called “Inquiry for the Development of Interior Design”, in which deep questioning, listening and awareness are integrated into the design process. Through conversations and exploratory sessions, I gather information about clients’ intentions, life transitions and subtle needs, and translate them into essential and meaningful spaces.
