IDEA International - Interior Design Studio

Since 2004, IDEA International has been transforming visions into extraordinary spaces that enrich lives and elevate experiences.


Based in Sofia and working globally, we deliver exceptional value through versatile, high-end design. Our expertise spans a wide range of spaces— from public spaces and private residences to corporate offices, yachts, and private jets — always guided by the individuality of our clients.

At the heart of our philosophy lies the creation of bespoke concepts. Every project tells its own design story, shaped through a seamless blend of aesthetics, function, and innovation. We integrate cutting-edge technology and artisan precision to craft environments that are both captivating and practical.

Our team of over 30 seasoned professionals brings experience from world-class projects, allowing us to create designs that are both timeless and forward-thinking. Whether redefining a home, reimagining a workspace, or designing a luxury yacht, we are driven to exceed expectations — with spaces that inspire, perform flawlessly, and endure.

OUR TEAM

Driven by passion for design, we’ve built a culture grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and a doer’s mindset.

We trust the process. We trust the people. Our focus is delivering outstanding design — efficiently, on time, and whenever possible, beyond expectation.

We thrive on both ambitious, large-scale projects and the intimacy of private homes. What fuels us is the constant pursuit of better, faster, smarter solutions.

We value flexibility, openness, a hunger for results, and an eagerness to learn. We seek self-starters who love what they do — and do it exceptionally well.

We practice what we preach — in a studio that reflects our ethos, with breathtaking views of the mountains and a space built to inspire.
