Enzo Giuseppe de'Selvaggi
Decorative Artisan

Maitre d'Atelier, EnzoSelvaggi Designs


I completely reformed my enterprise upon returning to California in 2007. After studying with Caroline Woldenberg’s school in Georgia, I completely reformed my enterprise. I made decoration my full time affection, and charged full-steam with a mission I knew was mine since my earliest childhood...

Today, I have formed exclusive relationships with some of the best artisans available internationally, and offer my clients only the best craftsmanship, by only the most skilled hands. I and my team are able to address any aspect of a decorative project - from powder rooms in plaster to full-scale residential decoration, and public murals for government, churches, or large public space

I also believe in “Lifestyle”.

Decoration and colour are tied to the eternal notions of beauty, of course, but they also live in the “Now”

Colours go in and out of fashion, as do forms, and palettes: this is Fashion... and Fashion is an absolute necessity to me personally, and to my clients

As a designer and an artist, I must be able to communicate a contemporary Lifestyle - so my connection must not only be with artisans of exceptional crafts directly connected to design and decor, but also with clothing, music, rare perfumes, and the like

Living out Beauty includes more than just the textures and colours of walls, floors, and ceilings... after all, they are merely the tabernacle to the life which teems and thrives within

My love of Beauty is at the heart of the love for this enterprise. In the end, it’s Enzo Selvaggi Designs’ most profound and true raison d’etre

Our love and desire for Beauty ought to be raw and exaggerated... because true Beauty is the greatest moving force in our life and in the universe - it is always the power of Goodness, and the most powerful weapon in the arsenal of Truth...
