Delfina Design Studio is a boutique interior architecture and design practice based in Dubai and Milan, working internationally. The studio focuses on highly curated, tailored projects, with each commission approached
as a distinctive creative journey.
Working across high-end bespoke interiors in residential, hospitality, commercial, workplace and F&B environments, Delfina Design Studio remains “consciously unspecialized,” approaching every commission as a unique expression. The studio embraces a deliberately open creative approach rather than following a predefined repetitive formula, allowing each project to evolve in response
to its architecture, context and identity.
At the heart of the studio is an Italian design sensibility, expressed through refined materiality, understated elegance and a timeless approach.
Originally from Milan, where she was born and graduated at the faculty of Architecture, Delfina Cortese brings more than 20 years of experience in architecture and interior design, including 15 years based in Dubai.
After gaining professional experience in Italy, Delfina moved to Dubai in 2010, where she worked with some of the region’s most prominent companies on high-profile projects, liaising closely with elite VVIP clients.
In 2019, she founded Delfina Design Studio, a boutique interior architecture and design practice based in Dubai and working internationally. As owner and founder, she is dedicated to all stages of project from concept inception overseeing site construction to turnkey delivery, ensuring each outcome reflects her distinctive style and exceeds client expectations..
