Marco Veneziano is a Chicago-based interior designer working across hospitality, retail, and residential interiors. Trained in architecture, his approach combines a deep understanding of how spaces are built with a longstanding interest in the decorative arts, historical references, and collected objects.
An avid collector, Marco finds inspiration in antiques, textiles, unusual materials, and traditional decorative techniques. These interests inform a design approach that is both instinctive and considered, bringing together architectural detail, furniture, and objects to create interiors with character and individuality. Each project begins with an understanding of the client's ambitions, developed through close collaboration and careful attention to the details that bring an interior to life.
Before establishing his independent practice in 2024, Marco spent more than fifteen years leading design projects for hospitality and retail businesses, including Intelligentsia Coffee and Foxtrot. His experience spans the entire design process, from initial concepts and material exploration to technical detailing and construction, bringing both creative vision and practical expertise to each commission.
Today, his work includes the reinvention of historic hospitality spaces, interiors for luxury resorts, and collaborations with owners and developers on new destinations. His independent practice brings this experience to hospitality, retail, and private residential commissions, with an emphasis on highly individual interiors that reflect the people, places, and histories behind them.
