For Lily Duclaud, every project is completely different and authentic and that’s what makes her work amazing. New projects are new beginnings. She considers herself an old-school designer, who’s used to sketching by hand, although she is an enthusiastic and playful person. In her interview with CovetED, she described that the most challenging time in her career has been digital media “I love eye contact, Vibes. It’s been difficult to understand and feel people through Zoom or chat. Feeling the light of a Living room through a computer camera or a couple of hours of sitting down understanding textures and colors without even understanding the concept.”
The Pandemic changed our lives in every single way but for Lily, the challenging days turned out to be an incredible opportunity. “We decided to bring our knowledge, experience, and happy thoughts to everyone in the world. That was a great challenge I’d never thought about. Gladly we’ve developed projects in Asia, Europe, and places we’ve never thought about before as Mexican designers. It’s been great so far. Masterclasses have been amazing connecting with people at home and bringing them also the opportunity to grow their own business as well.” Incredibly ambitious and always with her eyes locked on the future, the designer expressed that she’s far from achieving everything in her life.

She’s developing “Once upon a time in a box”, a wonderful project where Moms will be able to design their own rooms with her studios’ help.
She believes that as a society, we need to reevaluate the concept of social spaces in the future since the past year’s events and social distancing gave us the opportunity to evaluate our priorities. Lily Duclaud explained: “For Us, social distance gave us the opportunity to re-evaluate what’s important: Family and friendship. We as interior designers need to focus on bringing families together again. Giving them spaces to coexist”.
