Create the legacy and experience for your space through interior design

Founded by Stefanie Gastaldi, Patina Interior Design is a Hawaii-based luxury interior design studio dedicated to creating refined, timeless spaces that embody a profound sense of place. Based on the island of Maui, the firm specializes in high-end residential interiors, bespoke home design, hospitality projects, and lighting design — blending artistry, craftsmanship, and architecture to reflect the natural beauty and cultural rhythm of the islands.

Patina’s work captures the essence of island living — balancing organic materials, thoughtful detailing, and contemporary sophistication. Every project is conceived as a living narrative, grounded in context and designed to endure. Guided by the belief that great design belongs to its landscape, Patina crafts interiors that feel authentic, connected, and deeply personal.

Through close collaboration with local artisans, architects, and builders, the studio creates interiors that pair quiet luxury with a modern sensibility. From oceanfront residences and boutique hospitality environments to legacy family homes, each project reflects Patina’s commitment to integrity, texture, and the art of timeless design.

Patina Interior Design continues to shape the landscape of Hawaii’s luxury residential and hospitality design, offering clients bespoke interiors and custom lighting solutions that honor heritage, elevate daily living, and stand as an enduring expression of place and purpose.

PHILOSOPHY

At Patina Interior Design, our work begins with a deep respect for place. Each project is shaped by its surroundings — the light, the landscape, the architecture — and by the lives of the people who inhabit it. We believe that great design is not just seen, but felt: a quiet dialogue between form and feeling, where material, craft, and emotion converge.

Our approach is rooted in craftsmanship and collaboration. Whether designing a custom residence, boutique hotel, or signature lighting concept, we seek to create spaces that evoke connection, calm, and a sense of belonging. Every detail is considered, every texture intentional — reflecting the natural beauty and enduring rhythm of island life.

For Patina, design is an act of legacy. It’s about creating interiors that are timeless yet alive, grounded in authenticity, and destined to be lived in, loved, and passed forward.
