Our Story

Inspired by the sun-kissed lifestyle of the Mediterranean, ‘Celeste’ is a reflection of the colors that dance across the sea and sky.

Founded by Magda Miętka and Laura Dailey Marques, Celeste is an interior design studio that embodies the perfect fusion of two best friends, two expats, two kindred spirits, and two unique skill sets, all united by a singular vision.

Harnessing their combined expertise, Magda and Laura created Celeste as an outlet for their shared passion of interior design, and their desire to endlessly create new stories through their creations; stories as unique and remarkable as the individuals who inhabit them.
