Emmett Sati,
interior designer.

— Profile Emmett Sati in his materials library

A Melbourne-based interior designer with twenty-plus years of practice across hospitality, retail, workplace and residential interiors — from boutique hotels in Istanbul's Old Town to high-end coastal homes on the Mornington Peninsula.

The work is quietly material-led: moving from brief and site outward, building atmosphere from honest materials, considered detailing and joinery resolved to shop-drawing level.

Underwriting the design is nine years of project and contract management on Melbourne sites — a buildable spine behind every concept: realistic budgets, sequencing that respects trades, and documentation contractors can price and build from.
