Carl Henschel

Born and raised in northern Bavaria, Carl had an early interest in design. An internship at an architecture firm in Gstaad, Switzerland, piqued his passion and inspired him to study interior design in the US.

Graduating from RISD in 2001 with a degree in Interior Architecture, Carl went to New York and became Director of Merchandising at Kravet, a renowned leader in the home furnishings industry. In 2016, after missing the Ocean State’s miles of shore, beautiful parks and historic houses, he returned to Rhode Island.

Carl’s multifaceted background is an asset for marketing your property. His past career allowed him to manage various projects, from creating concepts with acclaimed designers including Diane von Furstenberg, Jonathan Adler and Sarah Richardson, to overseeing full-scale furniture and fabric installations. Having conceived, designed and staged luxury showrooms throughout the US and internationally for over 12 years, he knows how to shine the perfect light on your property.

Carl’s ardent sense of business, strong multitasking and communication skills, along with his methodical and detailed planning experience, also translate into smooth transactions while finding and buying your home.

Proud to have aligned with Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty, Carl is ready to guide you through the process of selling your existing home, or help you with buying a new one.

Carl is an avid home cook, cocktail maker and enjoys spending time outdoors, volunteering for ocean and park cleanups throughout the state. He currently serves as the Chair of the RISD Alumni Club of RI and he is happy to call the East Side of Providence his home.
