Donna Mondi Interior Design
Sept 2001 - nowFounder + PresidentAcclaimed interior and product designer, Donna Mondi is known for her signature style which blends classicism with modernity, while always adding an edge through unexpected elements. Her designs are influenced by her long love affair with classical architecture and infused with the best of twenty-first century innovations. The firm was started in 2001 out of a love of design and a dedication to creating a different experience for our clients. Donna and her team are currently working on projects across the country including a modern new construction home in Michigan with an AD100 architect on board, interior renovations for two 1920’s coops on Chicago’s landmarked East Lake Shore Drive, and a renovation/addition for a chic mountain residence in Colorado. Recently completed projects include a modern penthouse unit for a newlywed couple, an eclectic condo in Chicago’s groundbreaking One Bennett Park high-rise designed by New York’s darling Robert A. M. Stern architectural group, and six clients at the legendary No9 Walton Neo-classical luxury condo building in Chicago’s Gold Coast. We streamline the process, provide visualization through presentations, and offer variety through a carefully curated list of vendors and local artisans. We have the resources to implement our designs efficiently. Show less
