In the world of interior design, Dutch-born, New York–based Ghislaine Viñas stands out as much for her sunny disposition as for her unabashedly bold contemporary style. In her hands, every space is a jolt of energy and good cheer replete with primary colors, modern shapes, art, and fun-loving gestures from feather-clad pendants to slides and climbing walls. A young New York couple had been tracking the designer’s work for years when they asked her to help furnish a SoHo loft for their family. “They phoned to say, ‘We really love this joyfulness you bring to your projects,’” says Viñas of the couple, who work in finance and fashion. “‘We don’t really see other people doing that, and we’d love to work with you.’”
