Design Philosophy:

" I love things that age well - things that don't date, that stand the test of time and that become living examples of the absolute best. - Giorgio Armani "

 

We believe in designing with longevity and integrity; design that is future-proof because it is true to who you are; design that is functional, enjoyable and, above all, timeless.

 

We are passionate about spaces that feel right, even if you do not necessarily recognize the art and science of why.

 

We design spaces that flow beautifully; spaces that bring home something of that hotel escapism we all enjoy. We like spaces to achieve the perfect Yin and Yang balance; spaces that speak to you in the way that they feel, sound and smell - not just because of what they look like.

 

We love materials that reveal themselves - the way a texture feels, how the light catches that "something more and unexpected". The perfect chair or sofa that you cannot wait to sink into after a long hard day's work with an exotic Martini in your hand!

 

Most of all, the timeless beauty of materials that improve with age - the weathered leather on the wing chair over the years or the patina that tells a story all of its own.

 

We adore furniture whether it is new or antique, exquisite in its detail, constructed from rich beautiful materials used in smart, innovative or even traditional ways but which lets the fabric and craftsmanship speaks for themselves; simplicity and sophisticated elegance with perfect proportions.

 

We are fascinated by Le Corbusier's simple shapes. forms and functionality; Philipe Starks's wit and difference; Kelly Wearstler's bold and vibrant color palette; and Charles & Ray Eames' many classic, ironic designs of the 20th. century.
