A former human-rights lawyer turns to design, and finds a common expression
It took the British-Iranian interior designer Ellie Peugeot some time and convincing to leap from human-rights lawyer to creative. She launched her design career in 2019. “I always had a creative side but it was just deemed a bit too risky,” says Peugeot, who fled Iran with her mother when she was just two years old to settle in the UK, and later Canada, where she completed high school and undergraduate studies.
On the adjacent wall hangs a monochrome ceramic diptych by the Paris-based Korean artist Minsoon Moon, while a Charlotte Perriand stool sits off to the side. One of the first items Peugeot bought was an Enrico Castellani white paper relief acquired while undertaking her master’s at the London School of Economics and working at Withers law firm. It still hangs above her desk today.
