Born in Budapest, the London-based Linda Boronkay was inspired by her architect father and her journalist mother. Indeed, her interest in design was piqued from an early age with the former model winning Britain’s Best Emerging Interior Designer award during her second year of college. That led to jobs with Martin Brudnizki, Tara Bernerd, and Woods Bagot. From there, she landed at Soho House, where she spent four years as the company’s director of design. In September 2020, at the height of the pandemic, she launched her own eponymous firm. With a team of 12, her studio has been enlisted to design the Thompson Rome and Sir Prague, adding to her growing portfolio. “I’m in love with the notion of ... giving people an unforgettable experience,” she says. “ I want to give [people] that sense of excitement and fantasy—that primal, intuitive, and visceral feeling that you're about to experience something special. I'm in love with that feeling.”
