01 THE STUDIO
NAIA is a multidisciplinary interior design atelier dedicated to blending intentionality with refined design across residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces worldwide.
Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that thoughtful design should fulfill both aesthetic and functional needs. Specializing in full service interior design, from ground up builds and large scale renovations to bespoke, detail driven interiors, we collaborate closely with trusted architects, artisans, and contractors to bring each vision to life.
At NAIA, we don’t just design. We steward every element of the process with care and precision, ensuring each space reflects our unwavering commitment to quality and excellence. The result is interiors that are not only captivating but enduring spaces that evolve with those who inhabit them.
02 OUR APPROACH
At NAIA, we believe that great design begins with intention and thoughtful consideration. Guided by our core values, we transform spaces into meaningful environments that resonate deeply with those who experience them, leaving a lasting and quiet impact.
Our approach is grounded in a deep respect for the architectural essence of each space. We carefully curate materials that bring life and texture to every project, often drawing from natural elements sourced from around the world. Each layer tells a unique, timeless story, one that reflects the spirit of the space it inhabits.
From concept to completion, we bring our clients’ visions to life with care and precision. Every detail is thoughtfully considered and seamlessly executed, resulting in interiors that are not only beautiful, but enduring, spaces that grow with time and those who dwell within them.
“WE HONOUR THE QUIET BLEND WHERE GREAT DESIGN SPEAKS TO BOTH MIND AND HEART.”
KAMO MAFOKWANE
VISIONARY FOUNDER AND PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
Founded by Kamo Mafokwane, NAIA builds on her dual grounding in fashion and interior design. She blends feeling and function through careful craft and an honest respect for materials, a balance that guides every project we take on.
Nature keeps us honest. We stay grounded in bespoke design and a thoughtful feel for texture and natural finishes, letting each element speak for itself. By pairing quiet innovation with genuine emotion, we shape rooms that feel both elegant and intentional. Every project begins with clear purpose, so the result is more than beautiful, it becomes a space that transforms everyday life.
Guided by intention, craftsmanship and collaboration, Kamo works with a trusted network of architects, contractors and artisans to translate vision into place. Her aim is simple: create interiors that live well beyond their unveiling, rooms that evolve with the people who inhabit them and stand the test of time.
