Our Directors

At Johnson Vavinski, we are deeply passionate about interior architecture and the decorative arts.

With both our directors, Olya Johnson and Max Vavinski, bringing a background in architectural design, we approach every project by unlocking a property’s full potential. This gives us a strong foundation in spatial design, ensuring interiors that work as beautifully as they look.

Together we have over 30 years of experience in the high-end residential sector, delivering exceptional homes across London and internationally, from Spain and Israel to Egypt, California, New York and Dubai.

Olya’s decade at Janine Stone as Interiors Team Lead was pivotal in shaping her design voice, culminating in leading the studio’s House & Garden collaboration titled Creative Response.

Designing a home is both a privilege and a responsibility: creating intimate spaces that support the rhythms of daily life and can be shared with family and friends. Our approach blends the precision of interior architecture with the richness of the decorative arts, crafting interiors that are not only visually refined but also deeply personal and effortlessly lived in.

Through our combined vision, Johnson Vavinski delivers timeless, considered interiors that draw upon a trusted global network of artisans, craftspeople, and suppliers to bring each design to life with precision, depth, and care.
