the quality of daily life”
Founded in 2004 and headquartered in New York, the Stacy Garcia Design Studio is led by Founder and Chief Inspiration Officer, Stacy Garcia.
We are a visionary design house, developing trend-forward products in unique color combinations and unexpected material mixes. Our goal is to inspire beauty and enhance spaces with products that provide the backdrop to joyful and memorable experiences.
With roots in hospitality design, and products that are distributed in 52 countries, we have deep experience in creative direction and development of bedding, pillows, fabric, carpet, rugs, wallcovering, tile and LVT in addition to material direction and design development of furniture, accessories, lighting and decor.
Our mission is to collaborate with manufacturers, importers, retailers, and interior designers to bring beauty and innovation to the world. Our culture celebrates talent, creativity, and professionalism, fostering an environment of respect, experimentation, and collaboration. We embrace curiosity, resourcefulness, and proactive problem-solving to produce exceptional work.
Driven by a commitment to excellence, our studio crafts distinctive product collections that blend hand-made art with cutting-edge technology. Our clients, leaders in both hospitality & commercial product manufacturing and retail & home decor sectors, value our vision, expertise, and long-term partnerships. Together, we embark on a journey of inspiration through collaboration, ensuring lasting success in the ever-evolving design landscape.
Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, to parents who "spent a little too much time following the Grateful Dead on a motorcycle", Stacy's strong heritage and love of travel have helped to form her unique design philosophy, inventive use of color and remarkable pattern design skills.
After graduating from Syracuse University with a degree in Surface Pattern Design, Garcia worked for Ralph Lauren's Home Collection and then a large textile firm in NYC designing for their hospitality division. At 26, she founded her textile company, LebaTex, named after her great-grandmother, Leba. In 2004, she launched the Stacy Garcia Design Studio to license her patterns and designs to other manufacturers.
Since then, she has partnered with some of the world’s leading manufacturers and retailers to create products that span from floor to ceiling for resorts, hotels, and homes all over the world.
As a forecasting and design expert, Garcia serves as a chair holder of the Color Marketing Group, the international association of color professionals. She was voted one of the 10 leading voices in the hospitality design industry and honored by ASID for Design Excellence. Her work has been featured in Interior Design, Boutique Design, LUXE, Architectural Digest and Traditional Home. Stacy also serves as the Executive Chair for NEWH’s Martha’s Mentor Program, a transformative, 10-month initiative designed to connect aspiring professionals in the hospitality industry with experienced industry mentors.
Design is the heartbeat of the Stacy Garcia Studio, an intricate language that transcends aesthetics to shape experiences. With a commitment to inspiring and elevating, our philosophy is rooted in the belief that design communicates ideas, emotions, and functionality. Design for us is a dynamic journey, where together with our manufacturing partners we delve into the realms of beauty and comfort, understanding that great design enhances the quality of daily life. Our designs challenge norms, and push boundaries to inspire both our clients and the end-users that interact with them. We believe design is much more than a visual statement; design at Stacy Garcia Studio is a catalyst for positive experiences, and emotional connections, inspired by our love of travel, respect for the past and desire to meet the evolving needs of the present.
