Studio Natalie says the Maldives is “virus-free” | Virtual Design Festival | Dezeen



In the most exotic VDF video message we received, interior designer Natalie Papageorgiadis explains how she found herself stranded in the Maldives as the world went into lockdown due to coronavirus.

Papageorgiadis is the founder of London-based interior design studio Studio Natalie and appears in the video with its managing director Stuart Trevor on an island in the Maldives.

“We’ve ended up stranded but it’s a really beautiful island and it’s virus-free,” Trevor said. Papageorgiadis and Trevor came to the island for a project and, despite being stranded there, have continued their work.
