About

Originally from Chicago, Eric Egan arrived in Italy to study architecture at the Politecnico di Milano after graduating from Brown University. During this time, Eric worked at Gucci under both Dawn Mello and Tom Ford – with Ford’s encouragement, Eric went on to study interior design at the Parsons School of Design.

After training in New York and Chicago, including managing projects for legendary Italian interior designer Renzo Mongiardino, Eric returned to Milan in 2000. Here he joined HBA (Hirsch-Bedner Associates), the world’s leading hospitality design firm, and worked on projects such as Badrutt’s Palace St. Moritz, the Grande Bretagne Athens and the Hyatt Regency Istanbul.

After earning his MBA from Milan’s renowned Bocconi University, Eric launched his own interior design firm specializing in high-end residential projects. Driven by a passion for design history and a keen eye for the contemporary, Eric Egan creates interiors that feel both timeless and relevant. This philosophy led him to establish L’Artigianato SRL in 2015, with the mission of celebrating and preserving Italy’s rich artisanal craftsmanship.

Collaborating with master artisans, antique dealers, and the world’s finest suppliers, he curates spaces that are as unique as the stories they tell. His designs seamlessly blend the sophistication of residential living with the functionality of hospitality, striking the perfect balance between luxury and effortless elegance. The result—spaces that are inviting, refined, and deeply personal.
