Living far from family in Italy for many years, Claudia surrounds herself with pieces that carry personal history, from inherited linens to objects designed with her father. Her bedroom, which she describes as sacred, brings function and emotion together, carefully composed to feel calm, intentional, and deeply personal. For her, home is not only about aesthetics, but about creating an environment that holds belonging, warmth, and everyday meaning.

Creative Strategist Claudia Vitarelli (@claudiavitarelli ) welcomes us into her home in Park Slope, Brooklyn for the latest “In My Room“.
Working at Droga5 while building an independent textiles practice, Claudia moves between systems thinking and material craft — shaping how brands connect with people by day, exploring heritage, texture, and making beyond client work. Her home reflects that duality: a living project where Italian roots, New York influence, and a family background in art and design merge into something personal and deliberate. For Claudia, design is as much about memory and belonging as it is about aesthetics.

Curator and Cultural Organizer Usen Esiet (@usen_esiet ) welcomes us into his home in Brooklyn for the latest “In My Room“.
As the founder of HAUSEN, Usen moves between art, design, and site specific installation, shaping experiences that connect artists and audiences through experimentation and community. His home reflects that same approach, functioning as both living space and exhibition platform, where everyday surroundings continuously shift through dialogue, exchange, and new work. For Usen, space is never fixed, it is something that can host, transform, and create connection.

For Kai, the bedroom is the heart of the home — intimate, private, and sacred. Designed as a place to decompress, it’s warm and minimal, with carefully chosen objects that carry both function and memory. Rooted in a Brooklyn upbringing and a family home layered with personal history, the room expresses what matters most now: ease, comfort, and a strong sense of belonging.

Her work is rooted in care, identity, and how people come together. Her home reflects that same thinking: distinct energies, considered material choices, and a real sense of place.

The frame, or the frame with a headboard. Up to you.
The MC-1 was designed as a system from the start. Start with the frame. Add the headboard now, later, or never.
