My Sanctuary: Tatjana Von Stein
While home has often been considered a feminine space, too few opportunities have been given to women to tell their stories about the places they inhabit and the objects they value. Our sanctuaries articulate our unique aesthetics, rituals and needs and so become a beautiful expression of selfhood.
In this series we discover the stories of home and life told by some of the wonderful women in our midst.
A self-taught designer, Tatjana Von Stein was born in Germany, and spent time growing up in Paris before moving to London. With a career that spans the creative industries — from theatre to retail — her approach has always been from an interiors perspective. Tatjana shows us around her De Beauvoir studio that is the home for her interiors and design agency, Sella.

“Boss lady overlooking things and a view into our lounge area”
“Our team table and these gorgeous vintage chairs”
“The vintage Haberdashery which we use as a sample library. Gorgeous here in the morning light … and on a tidy day!”
