Bio

Fanny Fontes grew up in a small village in the Auvergne region of France, surrounded by nature. Those early years shaped a lasting appreciation for simplicity and an instinctive understanding of the role spaces play in our lives.

After studying law, she spent eight years working across Europe in the real estate industry. From large-scale developments to hospitality projects, she gained a deep understanding of the many layers involved in shaping a place.

In 2024, she founded Akasha, a studio through which she designs interiors and curates art, objects and furnishings. Her approach is guided by a search for what feels essential: spaces that are thoughtful, welcoming and built to endure.

Drawing from both her design sensibility and her real estate background, she accompanies clients from the earliest stages of a project through to the smallest details, creating places with a strong sense of identity, purpose and belonging.
