Adèle Young, is the owner of VDL Interiors. Adele believes that good design, especially that of interior spaces and furniture, inspires her every day. Adele, is happy to help others live, work and exist in well designed, beautiful places.
Having been raised in an artistic household in Cape Town, South Africa, by an architect dad and a ballerina mom, you can say Adele has creativity and design in her blood. From the family home that her dad designed to the “playgrounds” that his architectural firm, and the backstage world of theaters, provided, these early surroundings made an indelible impression on her creative mind. Adele developed a keen awareness of design early in life that has continued to be part of who she is. After earning her degree in Psychology, and living in London for two years, Adele now lives in Chicago and has immersed herself in a design career that allows her to live and breathe her passion. With a second degree in residential planning and years of tutelage alongside well-established interior designers, Adele now uses that formal training and practical experience to sow the seeds of her own business. As a single mother of two children, Adele figures that if she has to work to survive she is doing something that she absolutely loves.
Adele’s relatively new business, VDL Interiors, has grown tremendously over the past year, and includes design services for both residential and commercial spaces.
