Our Story

A design firm named after the founder's mother; Hester, who had exceptional taste in classic contemporary décor with subtle Parisian elegance. Her favorite pastimes were visiting auction houses, and vintage shops and mixing high style design with heirlooms. As a jewelry designer, known for her hand-crafted fine jewelry and hand-selected, semi-precious stones and metals; she infused her favorite colors, lavender, and French Bleu, and in honor of her, we chose the name Hestée Bleu.

​

Cultivated by my mother's beautiful rose gardens, appreciation for the classics, and unique antiques, inherently my love for these came naturally. From this exposure, materialized a fondness for neoclassical façade and symmetrical architecture. As someone who delights in arrangements of jewel hues and toils over creating modern sophistication and organic palettes, I believe, that finding the right balance elevates everyone's mood. Perhaps that’s why I gravitate to using a mix of eras, jewel box-inspired environments, evident in my favorite things. 

 

​Founded as an architectural engineering studio in 2004. The firm was relaunched to intersect architecture + décor. Hestée Bleu, reflects on the beauty found in the classics and brings a fresh take on parallelism and incorporating heirlooms for modern living. Collectively, we embrace architecture + décor by architectural research + case study observations + sourcing unique antiques + modern bespoke classics.
