Studio Modijefsky is an acclaimed interior architecture studio based in Amsterdam, founded in 2009 by Esther Stam. The practice is notable for its all-women team, which brings a powerful combination of creativity and collaboration to every project. Their work spans hospitality venues, boutiques, offices, museums, bars, spas, and homes, and is defined by immersive spatial storytelling that layers texture, material, light, and narrative.
Each project begins with deep research into a location’s architecture, history, and cultural context—resulting in highly site-specific and emotionally resonant interiors. Notable works include the Gitane restaurant, Van Stapele cookie bakery, Museum Arnhem, De Witt brasserie, Hotel Rumour, and the Booking.com HQ campus. Through meticulous attention to detail and sensory-rich design, Studio Modijefsky redefines how people interact with interiors, crafting spaces that invite exploration and create lasting memories.
