Timeless interiors designed from the world in
_____________
After visiting every country on earth, I came home with a palimpsest, layer after layer of the world’s most extraordinary spaces pressed into how I see a room. The Hajar mountain stone and Arabian architecture of Six Senses Oman. The tapered mud-brick walls and Himalayan light of Naksel in Bhutan’s Paro Valley. The bleeding eras of French boiserie at the Ritz Paris. The coffered stone fireplaces of a 17th century Jacobean manor in Oxfordshire. Nearly two decades of spaces, each one etching its way into the eye I now bring to every project.
Organic modern interiors
rooted in global design heritage.
Cassie De Pecol Interiors is a design studio specializing in interior design, feline-integrated bespoke furnishings, and home and trade brand partnerships, shaped by a life spent culturally immersed across every country on earth.
THE PRACTICE
Design, Craft & Collaboration
Every project, piece, and partnership runs through the same design language: a quiet foundation of natural materials and considered form, layered with worldly heritage objects and textiles that become the room’s focal point. The work expands across three areas.
Le Petit Château
A standalone home office studio currently under construction in the wooded hills of Litchfield County, Connecticut. Le Petit Château is French Organic Modern design translated to the American Northeast: Havelock Wool insulation, Roman Clay walls, a custom Murphy bed, and a space designed to function as both a working studio and a dedicated content environment. The build is documented from concept to completion, with brand partners integrated directly into the construction and creative process.
A Standing Ovation
Completed in 2024, ‘A Standing Ovation’ was my first handcrafted furniture piece. A white oak office desk with a raised platform silhouette and hidden inner legs, it was built from the ground up with clarity of form and intention of function as the guiding principles. The piece would mark the beginning of a broader bespoke furniture collection designed around the way people actually live and work in their spaces.
Industry West
A collaborative partnership with Industry West, bringing their Arbor Dining Table and Marseille Chair in Camel Leather into my Southern California home through an elevated dinner party documented across social media. The Arbor Table, handcrafted from reclaimed white oak timbers by artisan Theo Eichholtz, anchored the setting alongside the warm profile of the Marseille Chair. The collaboration demonstrated how considered furniture partnerships translate into aspirational lifestyle content for a global audience.
Twenty Years of Experience
2005 – 2015
INTRO TO DESIGN
My design education began in the field, working alongside luxury boutique hotels across Costa Rica, Mexico, Turkey, Italy, Peru and Ecuador. Those years developed the eye I still work with today and led to my first business, Geo Hospitality, focused on boutique hotel design and sustainable development.
2015 – Present
COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS
While traveling to every country on earth and in the years since, I built a portfolio of collaborative partnerships with luxury properties across the US and abroad, studying how the world’s finest hospitality brands bridge comfort and design. Work included social media promotion, editorial content, licensing, and creative photo and video campaigns.
2020
‘UNDER THE CANOPY’
In 2019, I completed my first build, ‘Under The Canopy,’ a custom 12ft x 6ft patio in Topanga, CA. Built from raw, locally sourced materials and designed to rest beneath a canopy of ancient oak trees, the space was conceived around a single daily ritual: the early evening light that moves through Topanga Canyon in a way that exists nowhere else. That particular quality of mahogany, the way it filters through oak leaves and settles on stone just before the canyon surrenders to a starry night, became the design brief. Every material, every surface angle, every seat placement was decided by that light. It was the first time I understood that the most considered spaces are not designed for how they look, but for how they make you feel at a specific moment of day.
2024
‘A STANDING OVATION’
In 2024 came ‘A Standing Ovation,’ a handcrafted white oak standing desk born from a season of Hollywood premieres, relentless step counts, and a growing conviction that the spaces we work in should demand as much of us as the lives we live outside them. Inspired by a CB2 silhouette and entirely reimagined from the ground up, the desk was rebuilt in solid white oak with a raised platform design and hidden inner legs that dissolve into the form, leaving nothing but clean, uninterrupted line. The entire office was redesigned around it.
2025
French and English Countryside Influence
Immersed in the art, architecture, and countryside life of England and France, I found myself returning again and again to the same design language: French Organic Modern. The plaster walls, the linen, the way a room could hold centuries of character while remaining completely uncluttered. It was there, moving between Cotswold manor houses and Parisian châteaux, that what had always been an instinct became a conviction. I came home knowing exactly what I wanted to build, spaces and furniture that carry the quiet authority of that world, translated for the way people actually live now.
2026- Present
Le Petit Château
Le Petit Château is a standalone studio currently under construction in the wooded hills of Litchfield County, Connecticut, the place locals call the Cotswolds of Connecticut. Converted from an existing shed structure and built entirely by hand, the studio houses a custom Murphy bed, a dedicated workspace, and a design environment conceived from the ground up in the French Organic Modern aesthetic that defined the year before it. Havelock Wool insulation lines the walls. Limewash finishes the surfaces. Every material decision traces back to the same conviction: that even the smallest space deserves the full weight of considered design.
