About Atelier + Design

Atelier + Design is a luxury furniture, fine art, and interior design atelier representing Tier 1 and Tier 2 Global brands. The showroom merges editorial presentation with the precision of an architectural studio, offering clients a curated experience that blends art, furniture, lighting, and materials within a modern refined environment.

​

As a member of Architectural Digest PRO, Atelier + Design operates at the highest level of professional and aesthetic excellence. This is the first Tier 1 editorial showroom on the Gulf Coast, designed to serve as both a gallery and design atelier. The environment is highly curated, visually exacting, and collaborative. Every detail reflects the same level of refinement expected from the world’s leading European design houses.

Overview

We are seeking a Showroom Sales and Design Associate with proven experience in the luxury sector. The ideal candidate understands high end interiors, lives design, and thrives in structured and visually refined settings. This person is both creative and disciplined, comfortable leading client interactions, and fluent in tools such as AutoCAD or SketchUp to guide selections through material, layout, and finish.

This is not a retail role. It is a design facing sales position within a high performance showroom that operates at the Architectural Digest level, where standards, aesthetics, and precision define every interaction.
