Passionate about craftsmanship and outstanding know-how, Stephanie Coutas designs daringly elegant interiors combining the decorative arts with a blend of cultures—her way of affirming her idea of French luxury, an art of living that is all about elegance.
Everything serves as inspiration
After fifteen years in the fashion industry, Stephanie shifted her attention to her true passion, interior design. She fearlessly created her own studio, taking on every aspect of a project, from major structural work down to choosing the tiniest spoon, from art collections to custom-made furniture, designer fabrics, and more.
“We are a practice that encompasses all aspects of the trade. We are involved in every step of the project, from start to finish, maintaining our high standards throughout,” explains Stephanie. Apartments, villas, penthouses, hotels, spas, restaurants and boutiques: the agency handles international projects of all sizes.
“Some clients don’t know what they like, so I listen closely and build their ideal universe,” reveals Stephanie. A universe filled with unique objects imagined, designed, and produced by the agency.
Stephanie produces high-quality furniture and decorative objects in collaboration with some of the greatest names: Baccarat, Promemoria, Taï Ping, THG Paris, and others. The interior designer has an exceptionally keen ability to listen, but she also has a sixth sense, an intuition that guides her. “When I look at a place, I ask myself if I would be happy living there,” she adds. And then follows through with the skilful execution of her project. The agency cultivates the French art de vivre. Her passionate collaboration with renowned artists and talented artisans is the essence of her style.
For Stephanie Coutas, the ultimate satisfaction and reward is to see her clients walk into a space that she has transformed and watch their faces light up with wonder, oblivious to the hours of work that went into a project. She never forgets to thank them for their trust and the human adventure that they have shared, desiring nothing more than to continue developing the most beautiful projects for them.

Everything serves as inspiration, everything she encounters in contemporary art fairs, magazines, exhibitions, or during her travels. Her tastes are eclectic. She favours a variety of artists, capable of appreciating the London underground scene as much as the FIAC International Contemporary Art Fair in Paris. “I have fun, it’s my recreation time,” she states. “When I go to the flea market, I’m not just window shopping. I buy things I like, without knowing where I’ll put them but with the conviction that they will someday find a place.”
SC Édition has grown to become an internationally renowned laboratory of ideas, a pillar of the hyper- luxury interior design community. Clients from the world over flock to their doors to find original creative proposals. Stephanie does not follow trends, she makes them.
Like an Haute Couture house, the agency sets itself apart by its artistic talent, custom-made creations, and a deep understanding of the clients’ needs.
