Modern Family Nest by DESSINA

Founded in 2020 by Austrian interior designer Nina Eßl, DESSINA stands at the intersection of design and identity. With a deep belief that interiors should tell a story, Nina has created a firm that brings spaces to life. In just a few short years, DESSINA has garnered industry-wide acclaim, including the 2025 Luxury Lifestyle Awards for Best Contemporary Apartment Interior Design for the standout project Modern Family Nest in the Austrian Alps.

Central to DESSINA’s approach is Nina’s unique philosophy of interior branding. A certified home stager and graduate interior designer, Nina takes her clients on a deeply personalized journey—from concept to completion—ensuring every space is a true extension of its owner’s personality or brand. As she puts it, “My design is yours. It’s unique because it reflects your personality.”

The award-winning Modern Family Nest project is a perfect reflection of this ethos. Originally a set of holiday apartments, the property was reimagined into a warm, low-maintenance family home using local materials like wood and stone. Every element—from a wooden ceiling to hidden storage in a custom dining bench—was tailored to the needs and dreams of its inhabitants.

DESSINA’s full-service offerings include design consultations, floor plans, mood boards, 3D visualizations, contractor coordination, and sustainable sourcing. The firm collaborates closely with clients, ensuring the process is as fulfilling as the result.

Sustainability is embedded in every decision at DESSINA, from the materials used to the electric car Nina drives to job sites. Local partnerships and ecological consciousness define the firm’s ethical stance.

Looking ahead, DESSINA is expanding its reach across Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, bringing soulful, character-driven interiors to a broader audience. For those seeking spaces that resonate on a deeper level, DESSINA offers a reflection of who you are.
