Hearst magazine Elle Decor has named Benjamin Reynaert as market director. 

Reynaert will oversee Elle Decor’s home-design coverage, a task that entails sourcing new products across such categories furniture, fabrics, tabletop, kitchen and bath, across the brand’s print and digital platforms. 

He has been serving as interim market director of Elle Decor since December, and nearly a decade ago was design and market editor for Elle Decor, House Beautiful and Veranda. 

“Benjamin brings a wealth of experience in the home-design space, along with an exceptional eye for emerging trends and an innate understanding of the marketplace,” says Stellene Volandes, editorial and brand director, to whom Reynaert will report. 

Volandes, who became editorial director of Elle Decor in 2020, has assumed oversight of the brand’s content and strategy across its print and digital platforms. Volandes is also the editor-in-chief of Town & Country.  

Reynaert has also worked at Domino Media Group and Architectural Digest.
