Eline Hissink

Midcentury Modern LA is a Los Angeles-based design company specializing in Midcentury Modern aesthetics.

Founder Eline Hissink is a Dutch native and graduate of fashion design from the Gerrit Rietveld Art Academy in Amsterdam. She has two decades of experience working with fashion designers John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Donna Karan, among others. In 2014 she formed her own design company, Midcentury Modern LA, which hews to a minimalist philosophy. She acquired an excellent understanding of modern furniture, inspiring the creation of functional spaces with an appreciation for design history. The craftsmanship in haute couture awed her early in her career, and she applies the same sensibilities to customize her clients’ home interiors now.

Eline lived and worked in Amsterdam, Paris, Tokyo and New York and currently resides in Los Angeles.

Pre-construction design:

This service involves leading high-end design projects in collaboration with architects and/or general contractors. It involves coordinating items such as tiles, kitchens, appliances, plumbing fixtures, wood sidings, flooring and ceiling selections. In addition, it involves designing casework, recessed drapery tracks, and lighting/pendant placement. These are items that generally need forethought during the planning phases so that these key elements don’t appear as after-thoughts upon completion. It is critical to document such items early in the process so that general contractors and sub-contractors can plan accordingly.

Post-construction  design:

This service involves understanding a client’s lifestyle and planning spaces that can accommodate their unique needs, thus resulting in a truly bespoke home. Typical space planning includes presenting color proposals and furniture selections to scale in floor plans for items such as sofas, lounge chairs, dining tables/chairs, works of art, rugs, drapery and others. Midcentury Modern’s expertise in this area covers both indoor and outdoor needs.
