NANA TAIMOUR OLDACH
Design with history, soul, and cinematic warmth.
The Luster Kind is a Los Angeles–based interior design studio led by Nana Taimour Oldach, a designer known for crafting refined, historically informed interiors that feel warm, lived-in, and deeply personal. With a multicultural background, a foundation in film studies at Boston University, and more than two decades of creative experience, Nana approaches every project through a cinematic lens, considering light, mood, composition, and narrative as essential design elements.
Nana’s early design experience included working alongside established New York designer Betty Wasserman, where she gained a foundational understanding of materiality, scale, and quiet, modern luxury. She later expanded her creative scope at Maharam, one of the design industry’s most respected brands, where she managed Maharam Digital Projects, a program focused on producing large-scale custom wall installations in collaboration with artists, architects, and designers. This role allowed her to work across disciplines and deepen her commitment to craftsmanship, collaboration, and conceptual storytelling.
These diverse creative influences, film, architecture, product development, and global design, shape her layered, highly tactile approach today.
As a certified Universal Designer, Nana integrates accessibility, long-term comfort, and thoughtful ergonomics into her work in subtle, elegant ways. Every space is created to support a full life, one that evolves and expands, without sacrificing beauty or atmosphere.
The Luster Kind’s work is cinematic in spirit: warm light, textural layers, and soulful objects form the backbone of each space. Whether designing a single room, a full home, a workspace, or a custom furniture piece, the studio’s guiding philosophy remains the same, honor the architecture, honor the materials, and honor the people who will inhabit the space.
At TLK, design isn’t just visual, it’s emotional, tactile, and deeply lived.
