In regards to interior design serving as an improvement tool in
people’s lives, Sybille disclosed that, “What we provide is professional
work so we are professional first, and this seems ridiculous to say
that but this is what people expect when they go and sign with
you, that you provide, that you have an expertise and that you
are going to share this expertise. So this is key because I think the
success of a place is not only a nice design, it works, it is functional,
it is timeless, it is comfortable, you have inserted technology in a
way that it is easy to use.” She also believes that interior designers
don’t function as specialists but rather experts on a certain matter,
to create something functional and efficient that is both creative and
emotive, therefore, satisfying the client’s needs. Furthermore, the
designer draws inspiration in everything, from nature to museums,
to artists, painters, architects, basically anything that reaches a
level of impressiveness and emotionality, and something that is
inimitable and knows no limitations. Lastly, Margerie recommends
young designers to be strong and passionate about what they do,
to be curious and creative, it is not only a matter of talent, one
must have that willingness to triumph, to work internationally, to
travel, to be adventurous. In the end, it is all of these components
that lead to success. Out of curiosity, SM Design often works with
interns which sometimes gives the opportunity to discover raw and
ambitious talent.
