VIRGO, a design studio led by Nina Schwarz, is focused on the exploration of the home as adventure. We create livable spaces that elevate the bounds of or clients taste, as well as design a retail line of objects for the home. Grown out of the appreciation of and the gratitude for the things that we use everyday, VIRGO sets out to elevate your material life.
