The Sydney-based interior designer Yasmine Ghoniem grew up in the Middle East, and was raised by an Australian mother and an Egyptian father. As a child, she disappeared into the world of books, film and music. A musician and designer by training, she found that interior design spoke to her many disparate interests. “I knew that I loved furniture design, lighting design, textile design,” she says. “I could have gone into any one of those disciplines individually, but I wanted something that encompassed them all.”
