Nathalie Khouri on understated luxury
Nathalie Khouri believes that quiet luxury is the true sign of richness. In her view, the most elite clients rarely seek to impress; they prefer to live well, not loudly. Her approach to understated luxury centres on refined materials, thoughtful details, and spaces that speak with quiet confidence. Rather than relying on overt statements, Nathalie designs environments that feel curated, considered, and emotionally grounded, where every element contributes to a sense of elevated ease and timeless sophistication.
