Barbara Elza Hirsch
American
Barbara Elza Hirsch is an interior designer and principal of Elza B. Design, Inc., located in historic Concord, Massachusetts. She spent her childhood in Europe and Washington, D.C. Her European roots greatly influence her design work, as does her background in Art and Fashion. Her award-winning work has been featured in numerous publications. Hirsch’s designs bridge the past and the present, incorporating colors derived from nature: flora, plants, rocks, ocean, sun, and sky. Passionate about helping her clients identify and express their style, she works with them to develop an interior in which they can feel both nurtured and renewed.
The collection is composed of pieces influenced by art, fashion, history and the designer’s French background, incorporating the highest quality hardwood materials with fabrics in bold, fresh colors and patterns. Durable frames and easy-to-clean fabrics make each piece as functional as it is beautiful.
As a French native currently based in Concord, Massachusetts, Hirsch has developed a sensibility that is strongly rooted in both of her home countries. “The Barbara Elza Hirsch for Dowel collection has an ‘old-world-meets-new-world’ style,” she explains. “The goal was to create a personalized collection that showcases Dowel’s intricate wood design capabilities, blended with my own design background and cultural experiences.”
