DEVI LECCHI
Director

With over 30 years of experience and a credible reputation in the industry under her belt Devi Lecchi has envisaged carrying the Mandala Design brand vision to fruition.

Every project is unique, every customer unique and this is the ethos Devi follows in crafting the interiors of a space. Being an accredited Professional Member of the Designer’s Institute of NZ and a repetitive New Zealand Award Winning Designer, she has been challenged to stretch her design skills from small to very large projects scaling over 10s of millions of dollars both here in New Zealand and overseas.

Devi has a meticulous eye for detail and is passionate about her work. It is easily seen in how she conducts herself, understanding various aspects of a project from overseeing and managing alongside clients, consultants and the teams to the final delivery, meeting the client brief with a minimum risk approach and plenty of enthusiasm.

TESTIMONAL

“I want to take a moment to recommend Devi. I worked with her for a couple of years on a very challenging project in Nepal. In a word she was great. With all the noise of a complex international project set aside, all Devi wanted is to meet her goals with the highest standard of technical excellence and to be surrounded by people who share those values and passion. During the project life cycle, we felt that it was the most important thing in Devi world and she was consumed by the project both day and night. She always seems ‘switched on’

We knew this would be a difficult project, so we searched for just the right person and just the right firm and we landed on Devi and Space Studios. She readily embraced the challenges and their consequent responsibilities. Her perfectionism and determination caused the work to come out clean, bright, and exciting. The designs were inspiring and aspirational, the installation was calculated and correct, the logistics were organized and properly sequence so we had ‘just in time’ deliveries. It was a pleasure working with Devi. I would recommend her to anyone.”
