Mia Malcolm Studio

Marissa Szafran is a furniture designer and award-winning interior designer who creates the spacious residential interiors of Fortune 500 CEOs, leading Hollywood producers, actors, Olympic athletes, and others throughout California, and across the nation. Marissa has won widespread acclaim for creating unique, environmentally-friendly furniture pieces, each of which is offered with the use of reclaimed wood. She curates a collection of designs from her prestigious client base, and her designs are included in the Mia.Malcolm Furniture Line. Marissa, the mother of two, established her company, Mia Malcolm, around the ideas that “furniture is art” and that it’s important to add logic to the luxury lifestyle. She was motivated to launch the company partly by her fearless independence and partly by her artistic instinct and upbringing. “I grew up with a paint brush in one hand and a hammer in the other,” says Mia, a self-made and self-taught success who was influenced early on by her mother, a designer, and father, a contractor. “I can’t imagine allowing someone to alter my perspective on the play of shape and color.” She developed that perspective early in her career, when she launched a thriving mural painting business. Mia Malcolm offers a full range of interior design services, ranging from space planning and project management to kitchen and bath renovation and selection of fabrics and flooring. She is backed by a team of some of the country’s leading workroom professionals, window fashion specialists, contractors, installers, lighting designers and others.
