Carla Palù is an architect and interior designer known for her human-centered approach, where design emerges from empathy, active listening, and a deep understanding of how people live. Her background includes international experience at a major architecture firm in Berlin, as well as a master’s degree in interior design from the Polytechnic University of Milan. She also worked in the retail sector alongside leading architects, which broadened her perspective and reinforced a contemporary, multidisciplinary approach to design.

Her work is defined by a strong connection between interior and exterior spaces, viewing architecture as an extension of emotional and everyday life. Rather than focusing solely on aesthetics, her projects aim to create environments with a clear identity, where materials, objects, and spatial organization reflect the personality of the user. This results in thoughtful, cohesive spaces shaped by a holistic interpretation of living.

Palù operates through Cù Design, founded in 2014 and focused on architecture, interior design, and furniture; and Interior-D, a methodology that integrates psychological insight into the design process. Both are part of SPAZIOCÙ, a multidisciplinary platform that brings together different practices and functions as a creative hub for developing unique, expressive, and highly personalized spaces.
