MDC is home to an exceptional roster of designers whose work continues to push the boundaries of what a wallcovering can be. Today we’re turning the spotlight to four remarkable women whose creativity, vision and artistry have left an indelible mark on our collections. From livable luxury to nature-inspired opulence, their perspectives are as distinct as they are inspiring.
Taniya Nayak: Designing for Livable Luxury
Known for her signature “livable luxury” philosophy, Taniya Nayak approaches every project by asking a simple but powerful question: how should this space make someone feel? Her work on large-scale restaurant design, seen on Food Network’s Restaurant Impossible and HGTV’s Battle on the Beach, revealed a gap in the market that only a designer of her caliber could fill. It’s that same instinct that brought her to MDC and Len-Tex, and after two years of collaboration, the result is a wallcovering collection offering cohesive palettes and varied scale for the spaces that demand the very best.
Candice Olson: Sleek Modernism with a Touch of Whimsy
Few designers have shaped the way the world thinks about interiors quite like Candice Olson. With a following that spans 75 countries and a design philosophy rooted in the unexpected, where clean lines meet classical inspiration and high fashion, Candice brings a sense of refined delight to every room she touches. Her MDC collection, now expanded into the Couture Collection and the wellness-inspired Candice Olson Living Well line, treats wallcoverings as the transformative element they were always meant to be.
Carol Benson-Cobb: Evoking Emotion Through Abstract Art
For Carol Benson-Cobb, design begins not with a sketch, but with a feeling. An American abstract artist whose work is deeply influenced by the sweeping landscapes of the Arizona high desert, Carol creates wallcoverings that serve as emotional backdrops, quiet and evocative canvases that invite each viewer to find their own personal connection. Her commercial collection for MDC’s Designer Gallery is the natural evolution of her fine art: original works re-imagined for the wall and for the moments that happen in front of it.
Aviva Stanoff: Nature’s Opulence Woven into Design
Aviva Stanoff’s story is one of a life spent in pursuit of beauty in its most deliberate form. From childhood summers at a Buddhist temple in Japan to the creative energy of California and New York, her journey has cultivated an aesthetic that is both globally inspired and intimately personal. As the defining voice of nature-inspired opulence, Aviva’s designs for MDC’s Designer Gallery are an invitation to slow down, to look closer and to bring the restorative calm of the natural world into every space you call home.
Four Voices, One Vision
What unites Taniya, Candice, Carol and Aviva is more than a shared commitment to beautiful design. It is a belief that the spaces we inhabit have the power to move us, to ground us and to reflect the very best of who we are. Each of these women brings a perspective that is entirely her own, and yet together they form something greater: a collective vision that continues to shape the soul of MDC’s aesthetic. Their work is not simply something you put on a wall. It is something you live inside of, and that makes all the difference.
