About ATELIER / STORIES
Founded in 2009 by Daniela Gagliano’ and Elisabetta Gyorok, Atelier / Stories is an Italian boutique consultancy and curatorial agency headquartered in Dubai. We connect a global network of artists, artisans, and design brands with architects, interior designers, developers, and collectors who seek beauty with depth and meaning.
Blending two decades of experience with an editorial eye and a curatorial approach, we represent talent, source extraordinary pieces, and craft stories that elevate both space and brand. Every collaboration is personal, purposeful, and grounded in creative integrity.
We believe that design is more than aesthetics—it’s an emotional experience, a narrative to be felt. Our role is to bring that story to life, whether through physical objects or strategic thinking.
Today, the studio is powered by a group of international contributors: product sourcing specialists, luxury consultants, communication and digital strategists, and art curators. Together, we work across disciplines to shape thoughtful, refined experiences for clients around the world.
