A DESIGN LEGEND WHO DESIGNS TO NOURISH 

Clodagh’s name is synonymous with soulful design. In addition, her work blends natural elements, clean lines, and spiritual intention. For decades, she’s created spaces that soothe the senses—from serene homes and hotels to transformative wellness centers.

Sustainability is woven into everything she does. Her projects honor nature, use eco-conscious materials, and prioritize emotional impact. When Robin interviews Clodagh, that holistic approach takes center stage.

ROBIN REIGI MEETS A KINDRED SPIRIT

Meanwhile, Robin brings her own expertise to the table. As a materials curator and advocate for innovative surfaces, she’s known for helping architects and designers make informed, sustainable choices.

The two connected instantly. Their shared belief in the power of materiality and wellness made for a deep and engaging exchange. Together, they discussed how good design starts with intention—and the materials that bring it to life.

A TOUR OF STUDIO AND SPACE 

The interview begins inside Clodagh’s New York studio. Art, awards, and objects of meaning line the walls, offering a glimpse into her creative mind. It’s a space that radiates calm and curiosity.

Next, they visit a residential project designed by Clodagh. As she walks Robin through the space, her philosophy becomes visible: calm materials, clean lines, and a sense of ease in every corner. Seeing her work in action reveals the emotional impact of good design.

WHY MATERIALS MATTER 

Throughout the conversation, Robin and Clodagh return to the power of materials. In particular, Clodagh speaks passionately about texture, tone, and touch. She believes materials should comfort, not just impress.

One standout? She praises Linear Line, a bamboo panel from the Robin Reigi Plyboo collection. Its clean design, natural feel, and eco-conscious credentials make it a favorite in her projects.

A LIFE SHAPED BY DESIGN 

Later in the conversation, Clodagh opens up about her roots in Ireland and the life experiences that shaped her. Through both challenges and triumphs, she shares how design helped her find her voice—and how she now uses that voice to create spaces of meaning and calm.

WHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS 

This conversation is more than an interview. It’s a meeting of two minds with a shared mission: to bring purpose, sustainability, and beauty into everyday life. If you care about design that does more than look good—design that feels good—this episode is for you.
