Tribeza Interiors Tour 2020: Page Gandy
The 3 Fold Design Studio founder is a fan of statement lighting, textured wood and tile
Designer Page Gandy has always been drawn to bold colors, patterns and tile, her personal style inspired by Southern Texas aesthetics, her passion for sustainable design and her desire to create livable, functional spaces for young families. A mom of two boys, her creative process at her firm 3 Fold Design Studio is just as much influenced by a home’s architecture as “where the homework will be done and where the Logos will be played with.” One of her latest projects, a home in Austin’s Westwood neighborhood that is featured on Tribeza’s Interiors Tour 2020, is the ideal case study for getting a glimpse into how Gandy works. There’s a navy kitchen with Ann Sacks tile, a funky yet still timeless choice, a glam statement fireplace, lower-end steals from Etsy and an array of modern black-and-white tile throughout.
We asked each of the designers on this year’s Interiors Tour to answer a series of questions about their personal style and aesthetic to get a deeper sense of their influences and what informs their design.
