A design company born out of a desire to create interiors that are relaxed without being indifferent. Client collaboration that embraces personality, keeps things fresh, and encourages the unexpected. We want you to love your home and are here to help and have fun along the way.

 

Describe your style?
Personal Storytelling. My nightmare is a soul-less model home. I love getting to know people's habits and idiosyncrasies. Everyone has specific rituals or quirks in their home and discovering that is very exciting. There is of course an aesthetic component. I gravitate towards, clean eclecticism, but creation is always grounded in the personality of the client and the reality of the interior.

You speak a lot about collaboration with clients. What does that look like? My favorite moment is when a client has a concept in mind but has difficulty translating. When I describe my interpretation and I see the lightbulb go off that's when I know we have something special. When we have design meetings we don't just speak about interiors or furnishings. Music, art, film, sex, everything is on the table.

 

Are you inspired by other designers? Enzo Mari is my biggest design crush at the moment. His democratization of furniture and transparency in design is rare. I wish there was more of that in the industry. I think (almost) everyone should try making his Sedia 1 chair. This website is incredible and the process is a way to connect to pieces in your home. It's super fun!

How do you approach the architecture of a space?
I love the creative opportunities that come with renovation. I am incredibly fortunate to have cultivated a team of architects, contractors, fabricators and artisans who I genuinely love collaborating with. They are a huge part of the magic of bringing an idea to life, taking something that begins as a concept and figuring out how to make it real. My role can span everything from space planning, kitchens and bathrooms, custom millwork and material selections to lighting, furnishings and the final details. I am just as interested in the bones of a space as I am in what we put inside it. I want everything to feel like it belongs together, but never so considered that it loses its soul..

What is a dream buy for you?
This Abrazo sofa from ESTUDIO Persona. Their pieces sit somewhere between furniture and sculpture.


What are some of your go-to sourcing spots?
I am always looking, so my sources are constantly changing. I love The Future Perfect for contemporary design, Nordic Knots for rugs, Baina for beautiful towels, and 1stDibs when I’m searching for something specific. But my favorite finds come from going down auction-house rabbit holes and discovering unusual vintage pieces I wasn’t necessarily looking for. That element of surprise is a big part of what makes sourcing fun for me.

Latest secret find?
Pillows by In Casa by Paboy. Paboy Bojang is a Gambian designer seeking asylum and living in Naples, fabricating delicate and traditionally inspired pillows by hand - yeh that’s a story you don’t come across every day. You can find them
