In Conversation With Cassandre Fusari
Sit down with the founder of KS STUDIO DESIGN to hear about her unusual route into design.
Hi there, I am KS !
Cassandre Fusari, known as KS, founded KS STUDIO DESIGN, a creative interior design firm. Whether working on residential, commercial, or renovation projects, the Studio is committed to delivering unique environments that reflect the identity, needs, and lifestyle of each client.
At the heart of her philosophy is the belief that interior design is not just about aesthetics—it’s about creating meaningful and balanced spaces where people feel truly at home.
KS, founder of KS STUDIO DESIGN, passionately tends to flourishing peonies. The lush, green backdrop and rows of white and pink flowers highlight a harmonious connection with nature, perfectly capturing the essence of peaceful dedication and the joy of gardening.

Her Creative Journey
First things first, Cassandre tell us about your journey and what led you to found KS Studio Design?
My journey has been somewhat unconventional. Graduated in Finance, I started my career in the Banking industry before finding my true calling in interior design. I absolutely love being in my home, I am a homebody person.
To me, a home is a sanctuary – a place to reconnect, to create memories and be inspired. It’s where our dreams take shape. In my home, everything tells a story. A decorative object, the mood of a room, the scent of an aromatic plant – they are all little madeleines de Proust that make the spaces come alive.
As more and more people appreciated what I had created, the idea of founding KS Studio Design naturally came to life – a way to share my world.
“Because beauty is a way of living,
it’s a kind of Carpe diem lifestyle”

A Mediterranean Soul
Your style is described as ‘chic and relaxed.’ Can you tell us more about your approach to interior design?
I strive to design timeless interiors. My design decisions are not trend-driven but based on my vision of Home – spaces shaped by a visual dialogue between past and present.
I’m a Mediterranean at heart. I grew up surrounded by a culture rooted in simplicity— an invitation to slow down and truly living in the moment.
I was deeply influenced by those simple, joyful moments of togetherness with friends and family – the happiness of gathering around a table to enjoy generous meals inspired by our grandmothers’ recipes.
This Mediterranean way of life reflects a laid-back elegance, where every detail encourages us to live in the moment. Because beauty is a way of living, it’s a kind of Carpe Diem Lifestyle.

Defined By Quiet Luxury
How do you manage to strike that balance in your creations ?
True luxury is timeless. It’s about feeling fully at ease in an exceptional space — enjoying the beauty of your surroundings without ever feeling intimidated by them.
Take my own home, for example: my dogs run freely through the garden and then comes inside to sprawl out on a white sheepskin rug.
This balance between aesthetics and functionality is our KS Studio Design signature.
No matter how refined or luxurious, our interiors must meet our needs and reflect the way we truly live. Your home should make your life better.
I also focus on creating spaces with a warm, harmonious atmosphere, where nature is invited in through the play of light and through materials like linen, raw wood, wool, stone, and leather. Every element has its purpose
Current real estate pictures epitomize immaculate design. A photo listing full of flawless homes. You might not be able to picture yourself actually living in them. With a styling by KS Studio Design, the homes and rooms are somehow more lived in, more human-scaled. This image showcases a beautiful styled kitchen shelf by our founder, KS.
“I create spaces that feel lived-in, intimate, and full of soul that reflect personal and happy memories”

Making Moments At Home
Your homes exude a very ‘lived-in and welcoming atmosphere, far from static interiors we sometimes see in luxury real estate. How do you achieve that ?
I believe a home is, above all, a place to live — not a showroom. I use natural, raw materials to craft interiors where everything is designed to create exceptional moments with family or friends — spaces that awaken sensory and emotional memories
Raw materials, over time, develop a unique patina, quietly absorbing the essence of the past and evoking memories of joy and serenity. Through my work, I create spaces that feel lived-in, intimate, and full of soul that reflect personal and happy memories where vintage pieces naturally find their place.
Every material I choose is here to invite touch creating an atmosphere where elegance meets life. The imperfections of raw wood or the creased texture of natural linen have their rightful place in this kind of quiet elegance.
KS Studio Design creates a home where you can truly unwind, switch off from the pressure of the outside world, and feel at ease. On the photo above, KS is delicately arranging a bouquet of lush hydrangeas for her dinning table. This image beautifully illustrates the art of creating intimate, lived-in interiors that embrase the beauty of everyday moments.

Craftsmanship & Raw Materials
Your Mediterranean roots emphasize the value of craftsmanship. Why is this such a fundamental element in your work?
For some, it’s a calling – an expertise developed over time resulting in a finely honed skill. For me, craft means dedication, heritage and attention to detail creating personalized experiences with a passion and a client centric approach that redefine luxury. I always lean toward craftsmanship. I want to break away from the image of industry and its standardized perfection—because only handmade objects can truly bring soul to materials.

Finding Inspiration Everywhere
Where do you draw your inspiration from when it comes to interior design?
My phone is basically my photo notebook. Whenever I’m out and something stops me in my tracks—a breathtaking sunset, the way autumn colors melt into each other, a beautifully set dining table — I snap a photo.
I love going back to those images to break them down, look at every detail, and figure out what makes the whole scene feel so magical. That’s the kind of thing that sparks my creativity.
