Nina Takesh Unveils Her European-Inspired Debut Furniture Line

Designer Nina Takesh’s debut furniture line, which includes seating, tables, a bed and a credenza, embodies the European élan of the interiors she creates for her clients. Here, she shares her inspiration.

What prompted this line?

I saw a gap in the market for designs that felt emotionally resonant yet elevated, timeless but with a distinct personality.

Describe your aesthetic.

I’m drawn to the contrast between clean lines and rich textures. My background in fashion sharpened my eye, while my cultural roots—my Persian heritage and French upbringing—have instilled in me an appreciation for beauty that tells a story.

Why manufacture in Los Angeles?

This place has been an important part of my journey. It’s about being hands-on and supporting the creatives in the city I call home.

You selected Misia Paris for the upholstery.

Materials carry emotional weight, and Misia’s fabrics bring a quiet luxury that complements the spirit of this collection.
