John Stefanidis Design Limited specialises in the architectural and interior design of exclusive new build and renovated residential properties across the globe. As a medium-sized practice of interior architects and designers, John Stefanidis and his team maintain close long-term relationships with their clients.

His extensive work can be seen in published books: Rooms (1988), Living by Design (1997) and most recently, John Stefanidis- Designs (2002).

In collaboration with Olga Polizzi, Design Director at The Rocco Forte Collection, John designed the recently re-opened Le Richemond in Geneva and was instrumental in creating the look of every single room. The aim was to preserve the character of the hotel, enhancing its fabulous location and updating its style and facilities with state-of-the-art technology in all rooms and suites.

Throughout his career John has designed original, highly individual collections of furniture and fabrics. Many of the rooms in Le Richemond feature his lighting and lacquer furniture as well as his unique and colourful fabrics which were especially printed and woven to meet the very stringent FR regulations in Switzerland. Used extensively throughout the hotel they are an important element in creating the John Stefanidis hallmark of vibrant colour, elegance and quality.
