Eric Egan
Originally from Chicago, Eric Egan arrived in Italy after graduating from Brown University to study architecture at the Politecnico di Milano.
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, as well as managing projects in New York and Connecticut 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 completing his MBA at Milan’s prestigious Bocconi University, he founded his own interior design firm which focuses on high end residential projects before establishing L’Artigianato Srl in 2015 to bring the fine artisanal craftsmanship and that Italy is known for.
Eric seamlessly blends his deep passion for the history of interior decoration with a fresh, modern sensibility in every project. His designs are thoughtfully curated, drawing on a global network of artisans, auctioneers, and antique dealers, along with sourcing from the world’s most esteemed suppliers. This careful balance of tradition and innovation allows Eric to create spaces that are both timeless and uniquely tailored to each client.
Along with his team, Eric crafts each interior to tell a unique story that weaves together elements of the client, the setting, and the property itself. His interior landscapes, uniting the practicalities of hotel design with the beauty of residential sophistication, speak only of the highest comfort, quality and elegance, finely balancing the ultimate in luxury with tasteful restraint.
