How does Rita Konig get her clients to be comfortable taking design risks? It has been a career-defining few years for Rita Konig. First there was the British interior designer and author’s Create Academy course, which was expanded for a second installment last year following popular demand. Her product portfolio also grew, with a fabric and wallpaper line for Schumacher and furniture for Oficina Inglesa. And then there were the accolades—namely back-to-back #AD100 honors and being named House & Garden’s 2024 Interior Designer of the Year. Mel Studach sat down with Konig to hear about her trusted client vetting process, as well as her tips for curbing client fatigue and encouraging design risk-taking.
