About
Rachel Luchetti is an accomplished, experienced, and multi award winning Interior Designer. Her hospitality spaces are renowned for their conceptual integration, commitment to function, and inspired artisanal details. Each and every design represents one specific and individual creative concept that has been incubated to its own aesthetic conclusion. There is no ‘signature style’ represented in her portfolio - the continuity is to be found in the philosophy and approach that guides every project. Rachel co-founded the Practice in 2008 with Stuart Krelle. This was initially a partnership born of friendship and operating on a shoestring budget in a sublet office space. Luchetti Krelle was named Emerging Designer at the 2010 Australian Interior Design Awards and swiftly became a recognised industry leader with celebrated designs around Australia and more recently Japan and New Zealand. Rachel was awarded ‘Business Woman of the Year’ at the 2014 NAWIC Awards for women in construction, Best Restaurant (Australia Pacific) in the Restaurant and Bar Design Awards and most recently, Luchetti Krelle took out the most coveted prize - Overall Winner at the 2018 IDEA awards. Born and raised in inner metropolitan Sydney, Rachel is mother to two very young children whilst leading a team of 20 designers tackling complex projects ranging in scale from complete hotel refurbishments to food courts, restaurants and even hole-in-the-wall cafes.
