About

Lauren Sullivan

Founder + Curator

Well by Design is a curated antiques and editorial platform rooted in the belief that enduring spaces are built slowly — through pieces with presence, provenance, and permanence.

Lauren’s work centers on sourcing storied European antiques and placing them within modern homes with architectural integrity and restraint. Her approach favors depth over trend, patina over polish, and environments that feel collected rather than decorated.

Through Well Found — the shop arm of Well by Design — Lauren offers hand-selected antiques sourced across Europe and chosen for their craftsmanship, character, and quiet strength. Each piece is selected not for novelty, but for longevity.

While Lauren’s background includes interior design and project collaboration, her focus today is centered on building a refined destination for thoughtfully sourced antiques. Beyond the shop, Well by Design serves as an editorial resource — sharing material references, sourcing insight, and layered interiors that reflect her distinct perspective on living well.

In a world of constant reinvention, Lauren advocates for permanence — for homes layered over time, not decorated overnight.
