The Style Hunter Returns Home

Designer Luigi Irauzqui reconnects with Peru's cultural roots and timeless design inspiration in collaboration with Yampu Tours.

Design Rooted in Heritage

Luigi Irauzqui is a Los Angeles-based interior designer, lifestyle curator, and Style Editor for Harper's Bazaar Interiors. His work has appeared in design and trade publications, with multiple television appearances on HGTV, E! Style Network, and the Home Channel Network. Through his full-service firm, Casavecchia Design Group, he creates residences across West Hollywood, Old Town Pasadena, and Hollywood Hills, alongside international projects in Europe and Australia. For Luigi, design is inseparable from cultural influence—his heritage shapes his vision, and every journey deepens his understanding of how multicultural elements transform a space.

Design Inspiration Rooted in Heritage

"My heritage is an important part of my design vision. When I travel, I connect with so many different cultures and I draw from them for inspiration and my surroundings and the countries I visit leave a deep imprint on me," says Luigi Irauzqui, the Los Angeles-based interior designer and HARPER'S BAZAAR INTERIORS' Style Editor. For Luigi, returning to Peru isn't just a journey—it's a creative pilgrimage. Traveling forces him to engage with new environments and offers perspective, putting his mind in a highly creative mode. "Traveling has always been a main source of my creativity and inspiration," he explains. On this Yampu expedition, Luigi sources Hispanic and native influences that will shape future projects for his full-service design firm, CASAVECCHIA DESIGN GROUP, with current work spanning West Hollywood, Old Town Pasadena, and international commissions across Europe and Australia.

DESIGN ROOTS

Sources of Inspiration
The landscapes, crafts, and heritage that shape Luigi's creative vision.

Ancient Stone

Incan masonry speaks in precision and time—each stone fitted without mortar, weathered by centuries, a masterclass in structural design.

Market Colors

Peruvian textiles and pottery burst with pattern and tradition, the handmade details that transform a room from functional to personal.

Sacred Valley

Terraced hillsides and dramatic skies remind why Luigi returns home—the landscape itself is the design.

Design Meets Heritage

Luigi's design practice spans West Hollywood, Old Town Pasadena, and the Hollywood Hills, with international projects across Europe and Australia. Through CASAVECCHIA DESIGN GROUP—his full-service design, construction, and TV staging firm—he sources cultural influences that shape every project. This Peru expedition is no exception. He'll return with Hispanic and native design elements that will inform his upcoming residential and commercial work, deepening the multicultural vision that defines his practice.
