Paladino Rudd Interior Design Interview & Tour

Join us as we sit down with Ted Bainbridge, President of BUILD Magazine, for an inside look at one of our Palm Beach projects. This remarkable estate features nine bedrooms, thirteen baths, and more than 15,000 square feet set on 2.71 private acres. The home reflects our signature approach to classic transitional design, elevated through rich materials, thoughtful architectural detail, and a sense of livable luxury.

During the conversation, Allison Paladino and Zita Van Egmond-Rudd share the story behind the project, the evolution of our Palm Beach Gardens-based design firm, and the collaborative process that guides each home we create. We talk about balancing timeless architecture with fresh, unexpected elements, and how we ensure every residence feels personal, refined, and truly meant to be lived in.

What 30 Years in Interior Design Taught Me

I want to begin by saying how grateful I am to Thais Roda, the team at Liaigre Miami, and everyone who joined us for such a beautifully hosted and thoughtful private evening.

This presentation was intentionally different for me. Interior design has been my life’s work for more than thirty years, but that night was not really about the projects. It was about the people behind the work. I wanted to speak honestly about wellness, balance, leadership, and what it means to take care of ourselves in a profession that is incredibly rewarding, yet incredibly demanding.

I shared personal experiences and lessons that have shaped how I design, how I lead, and how I live today. I also walked guests through my journey as a product designer, from furniture and lighting to outdoor collections, and my rug and pillow collaboration with Perennials. It is a partnership I deeply believe in for its innovation, durability, and beauty. Seeing those pieces displayed inside the Liaigre Miami showroom made the evening even more meaningful.

More than anything, the night was about honoring designers, creatives, and business owners. It was about acknowledging the energy we give every single day and reminding ourselves that caring for our well-being is essential.

Thank you to everyone who came, listened, and shared in the conversation. I truly hope you left feeling supported, encouraged, and reminded of how important you are.

Allison Paladino Lighting Collection: Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting

The Allison Paladino lighting collection brings together sculptural elegance and advanced LED technology. Each fixture features signature rough-cut dichroic glass, developed in collaboration with Fine Art master glass artist Frank Englesby. Integrated, high-efficiency LEDs are concealed within the design, illuminating the glass from within and revealing a dynamic, dual-toned brilliance.

Dichroic glass was originally developed by NASA for aerospace applications and is created through an intricate process that layers vaporized metallic oxides onto the surface of the glass. These layers are thinner than a human hair and require extraordinary precision. The result is a prismatic, jewel-like finish that captures and refracts light in ever-changing ways.

As light moves across the surface, color and dimension shift subtly, giving each fixture its own unique presence. The Allison Paladino lighting collection reflects a balance of artistry and innovation, where material science and design come together to create lighting that feels both technically advanced and visually striking.

Allison Paladino Collection at Chaddock

Now proudly carried by Chaddock, Allison’s furniture collection was previously showcased at High Point Furniture Market with EJ Victor, offering an elegant presentation of refined craftsmanship, architectural detail, and timeless design. The collection reflects Allison’s signature philosophy of traditional forms layered with subtle, unexpected elements.

Rooted in proportion, materiality, and disciplined detailing, each design speaks to a commitment to enduring style rather than trend. Architectural lines are softened through tactile materials, carefully considered scale, and nuanced finishes that elevate the overall composition. The result is furniture that feels tailored yet approachable, sophisticated yet entirely livable.

Throughout the collection, craftsmanship and comfort remain paramount. Each piece balances beauty with function, ensuring the designs are as inviting as they are visually compelling.

While the video opens in the EJ Victor showroom at High Point Furniture Market, the collection is now exclusively carried by Chaddock. This continued evolution reflects a shared dedication to quality, heritage craftsmanship, and thoughtful design that defines the Allison Paladino collection today.

Meet Allison Paladino: Palm Beach Interior Designer

Step into the world of refined residential design in South Florida with Allison Paladino, a distinguished Palm Beach interior designer and founder of Paladino Rudd Interior Design. Based in Palm Beach Gardens, Allison reflects on her early immersion in the design industry, her studies at Mount Vernon College in Washington, D.C., her formative experience working with acclaimed designer Tom Pheasant, and the establishment of her firm in 1997.

This feature offers a closer look at her philosophy and process as a Palm Beach interior designer, where interior architecture and interiors are conceived together from the outset. From large-scale renovations to new construction, her work is guided by proportion, materiality, and a disciplined attention to detail that results in residences that feel both timeless and deeply personal.

Through a thoughtful and highly collaborative approach, Paladino Rudd Interior Design creates tailored homes for clients in Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Boca Raton, and throughout South Florida. Each project reflects a commitment to enduring design, architectural integrity, and a refined sense of livable luxury.

Allison Paladino Lighting Collection: French Art Deco & Jewelry-Inspired Design

Join us at the Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting showroom in High Point, North Carolina, for a closer look at the Allison Paladino lighting collection.

Rooted in the elegance of French Art Deco and informed by the precision of fine jewelry design, the collection explores geometry, proportion, and the sculptural interplay of light and form. Each piece reflects a disciplined approach to balance and craftsmanship.

The Tennis Bracelet chandelier, Bangle pendant, and Diamond Stud wall sconce draw direct inspiration from timeless jewelry silhouettes, translating their clarity and refinement into architectural lighting. The result is a series of fixtures that feel both classic and contemporary, designed to elevate a space through subtle detail and thoughtful construction.

"It was nothing short of extraordinary!" From breathtaking architecture and design inspiration to warm hospitality, each day brought unforgettable experiences and new friendships.

Exploring the Architectural Marvels of KAFD

Our first day in Saudi Arabia set the tone for an incredible trip. To start, we embarked on an unbelievable tour of the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD). We owe a huge thank you to Ahmed, an architect from Construction & Planning Ltd., for guiding us through this stunning district. Amazingly, KAFD is the world’s largest LEED Platinum-certified mixed-use business center, and its architectural brilliance left us in awe. One of the highlights was the metro station, designed by the world-renowned Zaha Hadid Architects. It was a true masterpiece of modern architecture and luxury design! The innovative designs and grand scale of the development fueled our excitement about potential interior design projects in the region.

A Night of Hospitality and Celebration

Our first evening in Saudi Arabia was an absolute delight, thanks to our friend Tom Sunberg, who introduced us to our generous host, Sabah Al-Kraidees. We had the pleasure of touring the luxurious Narcissus Hotel before heading to a rooftop celebration at Karamna. We had a fabulous birthday dinner! The food was exquisite, the ambiance was spectacular, and the company was even better! To top it off, we indulged in the local experience of smoking dried fruit from a hookah and even had the opportunity to pet a falcon! Honestly, a heartfelt thank you to Sabah for making our first night so memorable.

A Special Evening at Sabah’s Family Farm

By our fourth night in Saudi, we had already made wonderful new friendships, particularly with our dear friend Sabah Al-Kraidees. He invited us to his family farm in Riyadh for a delightful dinner party, where we met some truly inspiring individuals. The warmth and generosity we experienced was unparalleled. We look forward to collaborating on future design projects and bringing our signature Palm Beach design style. Sabah, we cannot thank you enough for your kindness and hospitality!

A Historic Tour of Diyirah

Finally, on our last day in Saudi Arabia, we took a break from meetings to soak in the rich history of Riyadh. Our wonderful new friend, Mohamed Agour, treated us to a lovely lunch and guided us through Diyirah. It is the oldest district in Riyadh. Surrounded by modern developments, including golf courses and residential communities, Diyirah stands as a testament to the city’s deep historical roots. Walking through its historic streets was a perfect way to reflect on our journey before bidding farewell to this incredible country.

We also attended the amazing design summit with DLN (Design Leadership Network) in Scotland. We embarked on inspiring trips to the Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting Studio, immersing ourselves in their intricate process of crafting exquisite pieces.

Sitting down with BUILD Magazine was another highlight. Sharing our story and vision with such an esteemed publication was an honor. You can watch the video below or by clicking here. We were thrilled to be part of exclusive interior design showrooms that spotlighted our work, along with others in the industry. Additionally, we had the opportunity to attend the Kips Bay President's Dinner, which added a touch of glamour and camaraderie to the year.

Along with these events and trips, we started a new modern interior design project in Southport, NC. We are super excited about this and we also finished a beautiful second home design project for our client in Asheville, NC, as well.

Looking Ahead to 2025

Moving forward, 2025 is brimming with promise. We’re excited to unveil a stunning new lighting and design project that will reflect our commitment to blending innovation with timeless elegance. This year also brings a calendar full of events. We love these showcases where we can connect with our community and share our passion for luxury design.
