Lauren Benavent

Senior Designer

With a passion for food and wine, Lauren draws creative energy from the kitchen that rivals her inspiration for interiors. She has a particular love for antiques — especially pieces with caning — using them to add character and patina to modern environments. Wallpaper is one of her favorite tools, a simple gesture she believes can completely transform the mood and story of a room.

Travel inspires much of Lauren’s aesthetic intuition. Internationally, she’s drawn to the charm and color of Lisbon, and closer to home she finds her happiest rhythm anywhere along a coastal shoreline. Her guiding piece of advice is simply “Trust,” a philosophy that shapes both her creative decisions and the way she collaborates with clients and teammates.

A true creative at heart, Lauren can improvise a meal out of whatever’s in the pantry — a talent that mirrors her ability to make something special out of unexpected combinations. What she loves most about Crimson is the camaraderie and sense of family: a team that supports one another, respects the craft, and shows up with heart.
