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.
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.
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.
Reflecting on 2024 Interior Design Projects and Events
As we say goodbye to 2024, the Paladino Rudd Interior Design team reflects on a year of success, growth, and gratitude. We are profoundly thankful to our design clients, whose trust fuels our creativity. We are thankful for our partners, who elevate our visions into reality. Finally, we are thankful for our incredible team, whose passion and dedication inspire everything we do. This year has been one to celebrate, with meaningful opportunities, unforgettable experiences, and collaborations that have shaped the future of our Palm Beach Gardens interior design studio.
Always Inspired with Interior Design
This year brought us closer to the heart of design and artistry. Our interior design team attended the C.Next Design conference in beautiful Mexico. 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. At Art Basel, we connected with cutting-edge creativity and global influences that continue to inspire our upcoming South Florida interior design projects.
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. We can’t wait to collaborate further, expand our horizons, and bring fresh ideas to life.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to an extraordinary year ahead!

With the start of fall we've reflected on some of our favorite summer highlights! We must say, hands down it was setting sail in Alaska with Anne and David Sutherland of Perennials and Sutherland, two long-time leaders in luxury interior design materials. After decades of a wonderful partnership, they generously invited us to explore The Last Frontier aboard their beautiful Westport 130 Yacht. It's always the best when colleagues become companions, and we were just that when exploring this destination. We couldn't have had better hosts to take us on this chilly yet eye-opening adventure.
This was our first time in Alaska, and there was plenty to see. From whales, seals, and tortoises to icebergs with all shades of blue. Shocked by the natural world, this flipped our perspective and got us looking into a whole new coastal interior design inspiration. We loved fishing, playing cards, and enjoyed many laughs. Although it was a close call, we concluded that Allison is definitely the best at fishing. We even learned some new facts! Alaska is the largest rainforest in the nation—who knew?
Anne and David have been our friends for quite some time, and it has been a joy to get to know them and their team for many years. There is so much mutual respect, and it has only grown. Ever since our return from sea, we've been diving into new interior design projects and couldn’t help ourselves from placing an order on “Homespun,” a Perennials performance fabric we can't get enough of!
I recently kicked off summer in the best possible way – alongside colleagues who have become my great friends. On June 9, Florida Design and the Inside Out showroom hosted me for a presentation to discuss the “Ins & Outs of Developing a Product Line.” I love developing luxury interior design products, so it was pure fun to share my tips, tricks, and slight mishaps along the way – it is all part of the journey!
Founder of Inside Out, Joy Eber, and Florida Design magazine have both been a part of my own journey. I’ve known Joy for nearly 25 years. She has always been very supportive of my interior design career, and we have a special connection that I value. When I released my first furniture and lighting collection with Century Furniture in Chicago, she congratulated me and sent me flowers to the show. She is a star, and she surrounds herself with a team that matches her enthusiasm and can-do attitude.
Florida Design magazine has celebrated key moments and milestones with us. When Zita Rudd was promoted to partner, who better to sponsor the event? That was where we had the pleasure of meeting Florida Design’s editor-in-chief, Luis Rigual, who introduced me to the Inside Out design community. Just like creating a collection, it all comes full circle!
Thank you to everyone who joined us, to Inside Out showroom, to Florida Design magazine, and of course – to my wonderful product collaborators in interior design: Perennials,Fine Art, EJ Victor, and Century!

Allison and the banner outside of Fine Art Lamps! A very exciting time!
Here is Allison showing the watch battery size dim-able LED bulb. “It was fun showing it to customers to see if they could figure out what it was!!! It is hard to believe that this tiny little bit can illuminate the glass hand cut dichroic glass so beautifully and at the same time be practical to light a space! Because LED’s are fairly new in such a decorative fixtures it really is ground breaking!”
Allison’s new lighting fixture was inspired by her love for jewelry and exotic materials like rock crystal and quartz and the Art Deco period!
In addition to her new line with Fine Art Lamps, Allison continued to wow the crowds with a stunning new showcase in the EJ Victor Showroom.
All of us here at EJ Victor could not be happier to welcome such a creative talent, Kelly Wearstler to the family!
Market in High Point, NC, is always an exciting time of year, but this Fall we had plenty of reasons to celebrate! Many new furniture introductions were launched, including the David dining armchair featuring fabulous ribbed chrome details on the back where the arm wraps around the chair, on the arm itself, and a polished chrome ferrule on the foot! Also introduced was the JJ console in chrome, a walnut shelf with drawers, and glass, just to name a few.
Allison and her staff also celebrated with EJ Victor in honor of their 25th anniversary, along with the introduction of the Kate Spade Collection sponsored by the Hearst Group, Saturday, October 17th.
Another successful season with Fine Art Lamps is in the books as well! This High Point Market, Allison Paladino, a leading Palm Beach Gardens interior designer, introduced eight new lighting pieces to her line.
The artisans of Fine Art Lamps did such a fabulous job of achieving her vision! They truly captured the impeccable craftsmanship through the beautiful antique silver, gold, and bronze frames, as well as the organic feel of the cut glass that looks like natural quartz.
Fine Art Lamps also celebrated the evening with a party in honor of their 75th Anniversary!
Both Allison and her colleague Libby Langdon viewed for the first time the Fine Art Lamps showroom in High Point, NC, with the reception area now lined with all of Allison’s lighting collection!
“It was very exciting to see that my lighting collection was lining the hall and reception area of Fine Art Lamps! We also placed in the reception area some furniture pieces from my collection with EJ Victor. Around the corner walks my pal Libby, whom I did get a fist pump of approval from! Thanks, Libby!” says a very excited and grateful Paladino!
DCOTA – Design Center of the Americas, November 2014 –
Designers, both new and experienced, gathered in the bright and airy Atrium C of the Design Center of the Americas (DCOTA), and major hub for South Florida interior design, on the morning of November 13, 2015. Moderator Betty Cortina-Weiss, Editor-in-Chief of Indulge Magazine, along with three of the country’s top interior designers, took the stage for a morning of creative discussion. Three of the most sought-after designers, including Palm Beach Gardens interior designer Allison Paladino, Laura Kirar and Windsor Smith, spent an hour in a casual, personal, fun but informative conversation covering topics from “how technology has changed their business” to “how their childhood bedrooms shaped their design careers.”
After the discussion panel wrapped up with a rapid-fire Q&A session, the audience and designers moved up to the Baker showroom to sip fresh tequila cocktails and preview Laura Kirar’s newest furniture line. Following the brief cocktail reception, guests made their way down the hall to the Century Furniture showroom for an array of lunch bites and a tour of Windsor Smith’s bright and timeless collections, a highlight for interior designers from across South Florida.
The afternoon ended on a sweet note as guests popped a few doors down for coffee, desserts and a sneak preview of Allison Paladino’s interior design furniture and art collection, a cumulative 120-piece line created with Wendover Art Group and EJ Victor. The event was hosted by the owners and staff at the Judith Norman showroom and served as a vibrant celebration of the region’s luxury interior design community.
