Beyond The Model
Coast Magazine January 2011
What makes Studio Chameleon worth a visit is not just Lowey's well-defined viewpoint, but also the mix of affordable pieces with luxury items. "I have worked really hard to find unique, fun things that we can offer as gifts under $100 and under $50," she says.

Merry Mod Holiday
Bask Magazine December 2010
If mod contempo is your style all year, follow trend and go festively understated this season. Think clean and sophisticated with some elements of nature — an everyday swank philosophy from the designers at Studio Chameleon.
“We love contemporary, love to add color and also to mix in some Mother Nature in everything we do,” says Teana Dunlap, interior designer at the always-current Newport Beach design store.
Newport Beach Style Makers
Newport Beach Magazine May 2010
"A home in Newport Beach is not just a structure -- it's a lifestyle . . . Here we celebrate those who take houses to the next level: They're the true style makers of Newport Beach. These are the architects and interior designers who take the concept of a structure and make it a cherished place to come home to."
"When interior designer Eve Lowey moved to Newport Coast in 2001, she faced a design dilemma: How could she design her home to reflect Newport Beach's renowned elegance and luxury, yet still create a place where she and her husband could kick back and their three children could have friends over, create messy art projects and rough house with the dogs?"
Surf Style
Orange County Register February 6, 2010
If you have ever wanted to experience old Orange County, with its Mediterranean architecture and onshore breezes, mixed with modern Orange County, with its surf and skate culture, the La Casa del Camino hotel in Laguna Beach gives you both in a single stay.
Teaming with surf and skate brands such as Billabong, Rip Curl, Etnies, Roxy, Quiksilver, L* Space and Lost and a list of notable California designers, the hotel transformed itself from the legendary Casa Surf of the 1930s Hollywood set to its current hipness by designing 10 rooms in action sports themes.

La Casa del Camino opens surf-and-skate suites in Laguna Beach
Los Angeles Times, November 4, 2009
Former pro skateboarder Pierre Andrés Senizergues, founder of the footwear and apparel company Etnies, is designing more than sneakers these days. Senizergues, whose Newport Beach pad was featured as one of our Homes of The Times last year, has teamed with action sports firms and designers to redecorate 10 suites at La Casa del Camino, a Laguna Beach hotel. The project was spearheaded by Riviera Magazine. Among other participants is Los Angeles architect Barbara Bestor, who designed the striped 1960s Mod-accessorized room, above right.
"Our vision takes you out of the water and onto the street," says Sernizergues, who collaborated with interior designer Eve Lowey of Studio Chameleon. "We incorporated materials, shapes and concepts inspired by a skateboarder's daily life and blended them with green elements."
Hotel boasts a sink any skater would love
Orange County Register, November 2, 2009
How about sleeping in a maple wood, king-sized bed made of the same materials as an Etnies skateboard? This is just a glimpse into the Etnies Skate Room at La Casa del Camino – one of 10 action-sports-themed designer-remodeled suites at the oceanfront Laguna Beach hotel. The room remodels, which include design and décor by Billabong, Glaceau, Lost International, L'Space, Rip Curl, Riviera Magazine, Roxy and Quicksilver, ranged in cost from $50,000 to $100,000. The suites are known as the Casa Surf Suites.
Sweet dreams are made of this
Orange County Register May 16, 2009
There is so much to take away from the ASID Design Tour this year at the Astoria in Irvine, but the dreamy bedroom suites seem the most doable. Symmetry played a key roll in many bedroom designs.
Designer Eve Lowey of Studio Chameleon carried the orange from the living room into the bedroom with small touches. Twin mirrors flank the bed, and one strong art piece provides a focal point. Lowey used her vintage glass collection on the end tables of a built-in couch, plus pillows to bring orange into the pale powder blue and brown room.
Loft-style living
a design tour showcases open style in irvine
Orange County Register April 25, 2009
You might think that loft living is not your style, since you are used to living in cozy spaces with small windows and many walls. But wow, the six loft apartments at the Astoria in Irvine on the 13th and 14th floors are a breath of fresh air. Up to 40 designers from the American Society of Interior Designers worked with the light from towering windows to bring six distinctive spaces anyone could call home. If you like color, you will want to drink in the details. Allow yourself plenty of time to absorb the texture on the walls, the floor treatments, the lighting, the views. Each apartment is unique in its color scheme and style. Loft living is a lifestyle. Set up like a resort, Astoria provides homeowners with pool and spa, fitness center, wine vault and business center. This year’s tour of four penthouses and two lofts benefits the Orange County Performing Arts Center.
the design road less traveled - interior designer eve lowey goes for the unexpected in her home
Orange County Register October 25, 2008
Drive up to the Newport Coast cul-de-sac and it would be easy to make assumptions about the interiors of Eve Lowey's home.
And it would be equally easy to get it wrong.
In an enclave where the Tuscan and traditional vernacular dominates, Lowey steers clear of the predictable. Her home is a soft version of modern, with a bit of deco, old Hollywood and Asian Zen. Yet, hers also is a home in which luxurious chairs and sofas are cozy and tough enough to withstand the wear and tear from three elementary school-age kids and their friends.
