Spear’s Review

Dara Huang founded her interior design studio Design Haus Liberty in 2013, and quickly went on to secure household names and top brands including the Four Seasons, Cartier and LVMH as clients.

Huang blends mid-century and contemporary European influences in her interiors, which have been showcased in residential and commercial projects across the world, from Miami beach houses and urban Hong Kong oases to stylish London apartments and Milanese residences. 

Huang emphasises collaboration with her clients, saying that her role is to ‘interpret their vision’. She cites nature as a key inspiration for many of her designs: ‘Interiors and furniture can sometimes look over-processed, and you don’t really remember where they came from,’ she tells Spear’s. To remedy this, Huang often works with natural materials, real metals, stone and marble, and solid wood with visible woodgrain.

‘No matter what I do, I always take the client on the creative journey with me.’
