Laetitia Laurent
Founder and PrincipalLaure Nell InteriorsLaetitia Laurent is the founder and principal of Laure Nell Interiors, an award-winning boutique design firm with studios in Boca Raton and Paris. Raised in France and holding a master's in history and international relations from the Sorbonne, she has spent two decades building a luxury residential practice rooted in South Florida while continuing to source and collaborate with artisans and manufacturers across Europe. That dual-market vantage point defines her work and her perspective on how global design reaches the North American client. An NKBA member and Global Connect Advisor, she presented "France to Florida: European Design Trends for 2026" at KBIS 2026. Her work has been featured in Vogue and across the design press, and she is a frequent voice on quiet luxury, material intelligence, and the craft of translating European sensibility for American homes.

…European and global design movements are reshaping the American kitchen and bath - quiet luxury, material honesty, soft modernism, wellness-led baths, and warm, layered neutrals. But the brands and ideas that thrive here aren't the ones that simply expand into the market; they're the ones that get translated for it. In this facilitated roundtable, a designer who works across both the U.S. and European markets opens an honest exchange among attendees: where global design succeeds in North American homes, where it breaks down, and the practical realities - scale, lifestyle, lead times, specification, and client education - that determine whether a beautiful idea ever gets installed. Designers, dealers, and manufacturers leave with shared language and tactics for bridging global product and the North American buyer.
