Benedikt Josef is an interior designer based in New York.

Born in Germany and raised in Australia, Benedikt studied architecture in Melbourne and Berlin before working with McBride Charles Ryan, WorkAC, and serving as Design Director for Daun Curry, moving fluidly between architecture, interiors, and the wider possibilities that exist between them.

Since founding his studio in New York, Benedikt has shaped an approach grounded in clarity, inquiry, and an ongoing dialogue between order and emotion. He works from the belief that space should unfold rather than impose, and that meaning outweighs style or trend.

Focusing on private residential work, Benedikt begins each commission with a close reading of his clients’ values, sensibilities, and rhythms of living, creating environments that feel not designed but discovered.

His work is rooted in rationalism yet guided by the senses, where light, material richness, and craft shape experience rather than ornament. His interiors are composed and refined, yet carry an undercurrent of subversion, showing that restraint can hold desire and stillness can reveal complexity. The result is a home that is elegant, deeply personal, and feels inevitable.

Favoring nuance over spectacle, his work avoids easy classification, existing instead in a state of quiet intensity that invites reflection, warmth, and intimacy.
