DAVID JOSEPH KATONA

Drawing on twenty-five years’ experience designing exquisite residences, David Joseph Katona brings vision, taste and flawless execution to his timeless designs, both interior and exterior.  

“The spaces I design are intimately connected to the character, lifestyle and passions of my clients.  These are the environments to which they retreat for relaxation and cultivating special moments with family and friends,” explains Katona from his Los Angeles-based studio. “Developing such personalized spaces is both intuitive and curatorial, creating a rewarding result that truly resonates with the heart and soul of those who reside within them.”

Katona’s work is recognized for its seamless harmony between classic interiors, inspiring gardens, and distinctive architectural features. In executing his projects, he calls upon long-term relationships with best-in-class furnishing purveyors and antiquarians, the finest artisans, and the most professional contactors and technicians in the business. Every stage is supervised with the highest standards in place.  His unique background, spanning over two decades, additionally includes specialized experience working with smart home technology, screening rooms, art collections and equestrian facilities.

Katona’s projects, ranging from family homes to vacation retreats and equestrian estates, have been featured in numerous publications including Traditional Home which recently named him “one of California’s best-kept design secrets.”
