The studio

Two disciplines, one team — and more than a decade of hospitality behind every room.

Studio Emanuel is a full-service interior design and procurement studio. From first concept to final install, one team carries your property the whole way — protecting the creative vision through sourcing, budgets, and timelines, so the finished space is exactly what you were promised.

Most projects pass through a designer and a separate procurement vendor, and something is lost in the handoff. We hold both.

What we do

Most firms do one. We own both — and the seam between them.

01

Interior design

Concept, spatial planning, materials, and the atmosphere that gives a property its identity — characterful, elevated, and built to last.

02

Procurement

FF&E sourcing, vendor management, lead times, and budget control — the execution that turns a rendering into a room, without the surprises.

The seam

One accountable team for both vision and execution — protecting the creative intent through sourcing, lead times, and budget, so the finished space matches the renderings.

“
It’s not only about the colors — it’s about energy. Eighteen years later, we’re still building together.
Juan Chipoco · Founder, Ceviche 105

Our first client · Downtown Miami, est. 2008

“We started with a tiny restaurant in downtown Miami and a very small budget, connected by the same passion and ambition. Antoinette believed in my talent, and I believed in hers. I move fast and I set tough deadlines — Antoinette works in that fast pace and still creates like an artist. It comes down to belief: trust, taste, and chemistry — then you can walk together toward a successful place.”

The flagship · Windsong Resort, Grace Bay
“A seamless, end-to-end solution — one team handling both design and procurement, consistent from concept through execution.”

“We needed a design partner who could bring our vision to life across our F&B outlets and make each brand feel authentic, memorable, and timeless. Their biggest value was problem-solving within an existing space: practical, creative solutions that kept the vision intact while respecting timeline and budget. It felt like a true partnership.”

“One of a kind in the area — and four years later, our volume is still growing.”

“We wanted to bring the Miami vibe to Walnut Creek, and Antoinette delivered. From the design drawings through finding the right people to execute, the whole process was made easy.”

“Antoinette delivers the WOW effect in every design — we’ll hire them for every future project without hesitation.”

“We wanted a concept that was beautiful and unique — and within budget. The team was always available and willing to resolve any issue, and we met all our goals thanks to their work.”

Approach

One accountable team, one point of contact — from first sketch to opening night.

01

Concept

We interpret your vision and return it as something beautiful, relevant, and lasting — the identity your property will be known by.

02

Sourcing

FF&E specified and procured by the same team that designed it — vendors, custom fabrication, lead times, and budget, held.

03

Install

Coordinated delivery and installation, on schedule — so the room matches the rendering, and the doors open on time.

The founders

One vision, one delivery — two people who answer for both.

Antoinette G. Emanuel

Hola — I’m Antoinette, an interior designer based in Miami and specialized in restaurants. I’ve directed projects across North America, South America, and Europe — but my roots are here, in a deep understanding of the local culture and Miami’s sexy style. We call it el sabor de Miami.

Miami is a major player in the hospitality scene, and I can recreate that sexy-chic ambiance anywhere. The space itself has a lot to say — my job is to listen to it, and let it lead the design.

If you’re looking to create a one-of-a-kind restaurant that truly stands out in the Miami dining scene — or to bring the Miami flair to your project, wherever it is — me encantaría trabajar contigo.

Mart J. Kral

I came to the States from Estonia as a teenager, with an entrepreneurial streak that never switched off. My background is real estate — from management to flipping and land banking — where I learned that a project is won or lost in the execution: the sourcing, the numbers, the schedule.

At Studio Emanuel I run procurement and delivery — vendors, lead times, and budgets — so the finished room matches the rendering, and the doors open on time.

I also carry a trained eye for camera work and lighting, which means every space we hand over is built to look as good in person as it does on film.

Bespoke pieces designed and made for the spaces we build — bar stools, banquettes, tables, and lighting drawn to fit a room rather than ordered from a catalogue. Soon available on their own.
