Marc Müskens

Marc Müskens (1983, The Netherlands) is fond of contrasts and stories. He likes to interact with all kinds of people, in different places. Marc can enjoy the smallest things and create unforgettable experiences. With his continuous hunger for physical and mental challenge, this is 'Living on Your Own Terms' for him. The feeling of freedom.

As a child, I never doubted it.
I wanted to become an interior designer.

While others wanted to be a superhero, a pilot or a police officer,
I was drawing floor plans of luxury homes.

Rooms. Routes. Perspectives.

Impatient to build.
Impatient to create.

In 2007, I graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven under the guidance of Lidewij Edelkoort and Liesbeth van der Pol.

A year later, I opened my first studio.

Ready to explore the boundaries of the profession.

From the outside, my studio looked successful.
Beautiful projects.
Recognition.
Growth.

On the inside, it felt different.

"We are trained to design spaces.
But not to design the studio that holds our life."

It was a necessity.

I began studying structure, positioning, decision-making and psychology.

Not as theory.
But inside real projects.

With real clients.
Real budgets.
Real deadlines.

Today, I co-own Masters of Interior Design and lead high-end residential projects.
Everything inside Beyond Interior Design is tested there first.

"If it does not work in practice, it does not enter the platform."

Most designers were taught that form follows function.

I believe something deeper:

Form Follows Meaning

In my projects, I learned that no material, layout or detail matters if a space does not reflect the life lived inside it.

"Why does this space exist?"
"What should it enable?"
"What must it express?"

The same questions apply to your studio.

"Why do you design?"
"What do you stand for?"
"What do you refuse to compromise on?"

Without clarity of meaning, growth becomes pressure.
Marketing becomes noise.

When identity is clear, form aligns.

Your positioning.
Your offers.
Your leadership.

Not copied.
Not forced.

Designed from the inside out.
