Interior designer Emma Donnersberg will open her first Paris gallery on 20 October 2025 in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The inaugural exhibition will feature paintings by Mexican artist Ileana García Magoda alongside new furniture pieces by Donnersberg, including the Marigold sofa and chairs from her Cloud and Rainbow collections. Donnersberg, who studied at Tulane University and Parsons School of Design, began her career at Christie’s in New York and Paris before founding E. Donnersberg Interiors in Manhattan in 2008.
The opening marks a significant expansion of Donnersberg's practice from interior design into the gallery world, blending fine art with functional design in a dedicated exhibition space. This move reflects a growing trend of designers and artists creating hybrid venues that dissolve traditional boundaries between art, craft, and commerce, potentially influencing how galleries present and sell works in the future.
