Tatler Asia | How 'Interiors Disruptor' Alex Alonso Embraces Colorful Maximalism in Summer Homes

Miami-based interior design firm Mr Alex Tate balances Victorian charm and vibrant maximalism when bringing spaces to life.

Mr. Alex Tate brings his signature Modern Victorial style to the spotlight in Tatler Asia's latest interiors feature. From layered textures to bold botanicals, he shares how travel and storytelling shape his vibrant, maximalist spaces.

"Amid the pastel hues and minimalist routes of modern design, Alex Alonso of Miami-based design firm Mr Alex Tate stands out. “Eclectic maximalism has always been a part of me,” he says. “In recent decades, there’s been a void in designs that inspire and tell individual stories. But I’ve never ascribed to a one-note look when designing–both for myself and my clients. 

Alonso views an early trip to Europe as the catalyst for his unique design philosophy. “Paris created an immediate impression on me, what with its mix of old and new buildings flowing cohesively into each other,” he says. “I loved the juxtaposition of the history-laden with the design-forward.”  

Since then, Alonso has pursued projects that feel “layered, curated and visually ‘full.’” He has developed the term ‘ModVic,’ infusing each modern space with the romantic elements of Victorian design."
