Swedish-born interior and landscape designer Isabelle Dahlin is the founder of Isabelle Dahlin Design, a full-service design studio; and deKor, a lifestyle and home interiors boutique with locations in Los Angeles, Ojai and New York City.
Dahlin first moved to the States to attend the Otis School of Art and Design and the New School of Design at Parsons. On moving to the West Coast, she assisted a leading Angeles interior designer before launching her own interiors and landscaping studio. In 2011 she opened the first deKor location in Echo Park, showcasing her unique design aesthetic that mixes old world Scandinavian elegance with airy, laid-back Californian style.
“My design style is very much based on the Swedish philosophy of ‘lagom’ - a word that can be translated as ‘just the right amount’, ‘in balance’, or ‘perfect-simple’.”
deKor has been named among the 40 of the Best Home Decor Stores in America by Architectural Digest and Dahlin’s work has been featured in Martha Stewart Living, Domaine, Architectural Digest, Sunset Magazine, Better Homes and Gardens and Apartment Therapy.
