Inge Theron

Founder, ITANDA

Founder of ITANDA, the Architectural Design Studio for Ultra-Luxury Wellbeing & Longevity,
AGEZERO a new well tech for residential developments of the future and FaceGym the world's first gym for the face.

Inge Theron is one of the world’s foremost architects of ultra-luxury wellbeing and longevity spaces, a full-service design visionary whose work for the world's top hospitality brands has redefined what it means to build transformative wellness environments at the highest level of Hospitality. Her journey began not in a boardroom, but in the treatment rooms of the world’s most pioneering spas. As the Financial Times’ Spa Junkie columnist, Theron spent over a decade immersed in the cutting edge of global aesthetics, longevity science, and high-performance wellness, testing, interrogating, and ultimately reimagining what these spaces could be. That decade of first-hand experience became the founding intelligence for FaceGym, a category-defining global brand that translated the principles of physical fitness to facial health, pioneering a non-invasive movement that has since gone mainstream. Her current and recent
collaborators include Faena, Maybourne Hotel Group (including the Landmark spa at Claridges), Four Seasons, Ennismore, The Pellicano Group, Mandarin Oriental, Bulgari
Hotels, and Fulham FC members spa SAEL. Inge and her studio bring editorial intelligence,
lived experiential research, brand-building acumen, and spatial design expertise to this work. Theron is a sought-after voice on the future of wellness, longevity, and the experience economy, and a powerful example of how innovation in the luxury sector is increasingly led by those who have lived and obsessed over it.
