At EMCI we strive to side-step trends and create immersive and unique narratives through our interiors. From the early stages of conceptual thinking to the very last details, we find unexpected design solutions. Embracing small crafts and old traditions, EMCI is on a mission to preserve and protect the skilled hands of artisans, and that is why all our projects, from the smallest piece of furniture to big architectural interventions, are one-of-a-kind. Our projects span from hospitality, commercial and residential.
Marie-Caroline Willms – CEO & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Marie-Caroline brings to each project her take on a wide-ranging curiosity about all matters aesthetic. She creates spirited and bold interiors and loves experimenting with materials to surprise with unexpected solutions.
Her interiors reflect international flair, great sensitivity and elegant proportions but above all great comfort with style. Marie-Caroline´s goal is to achieve interiors that become timeless with tons of personality that you want to belong to for a lifetime.
Not over-designed, not pretentious but a charming mismatch of layers, all which strike contrast and interest to the spaces seen.
To create one harmonious atmosphere wich is in sync with the mood of the person within it.
These are a result of continuous conversations with the client:
“I pay a lot of attention to a detailed brief of a “typical day” in the life of my client and how and when they move around their home and garden. Understanding the clients´ lifestyle plays a major role in the space planning and distribution because a persons movement in the designed layouts must feel as a natural flow.”
Marie-Caroline has worked on projects across Europe in Germany, UK, Austria, Italy, Spain from private residences, offices, hotels, a yacht, private planes, a cruise liner to a private Island.
Marie-Caroline has lived in Germany, Austria, USA, Luxembourg, Great Britain, Italy and Spain. She went to study interior design at Inschbald in London and concluded her Master Degree in Florence.
