Van Der Straeten designs exceptionally well crafted furniture, mirrors and accessories. We love his jewellery-like lighting pieces, they are a true focal point in any room.

His furniture and accessories are created using traditional materials of bronze, lacquer and wood. His bold forms using classical materials create objects of both modernity and tradition.

Van Der Straeten has designed of jewelry, perfume bottles and makeup cases for Yves Saint-Laurent, Dior, Guerlain and other houses.

Design legend Elsie de Wolfe has created a beautiful Beverly Hills home for American heiress Dorothy di Frasso in 1936.

Chinoiserie is prevalent throughout the house, especially in the living room.

Chinese accents

De Wolfe is known for inventing the profession of interior decorating. She envisioned the home as a channel for self-expression and herself as an artist. 

Cloverleaf Sofa, Verner Panton, 1969.

Verpan’s Cloverleaf is both fun and practical, perfect for large lounge areas and commercial spaces. It was first presented in 1970 for the Visiona 2 exhibition in Cologne. The idea behind this sofa consists of assembling forms to get different shapes by using the sofa’s build-up system. Each space can therefore be a unique interior with Cloverleaf forming a fluid shape that encourages various seating manners.

Tari Console & Stydd lamp

Tari Console is aesthetically built from patinated brass and tinted molded glass which can be seen to depict the cliffs and seas of Bruno Moinard’s hometown, Varengeville-sur-Mer in France.

Moinard refers to his polished brass Stydd lamp as “accessorized minimalism.” We think this table lamp would perfectly light up any study, library, or bedroom with its clear beams.

In 1961, Yve Klein created two unfinished cocktail table prototypes. Two years later, his widow started producing the patented acrylic tables. Made from a blue pigment and a binding medium, Klein developed the “International Klein Blue” (IKB) and around 44 pounds of it are used in his Table Bleue.

Table Bleue

The table is available in the three materials: IKB and rose pigment and gold leaf.  The number of tables produced each year is limited but no more than approximately 40-60 tables are created yearly.

The table comes in one size and customization is not possible. The sides and base of the table are plexiglass but the top is a more durable glass making it a functional and easily maintained table. The tables are shiped directly from Klein’s Parisian estate and must be installed immediately upon arrival.

George Condo, Constellation Portrait, 2013

Acrylic, charcoal and pastel on linen

In 2013, George Condo faced a combination of illnesses and it was during that period that he painted Constellation Portrait, where he drifted further into his particular approach to portraiture and abstraction. In the above painting, the facial features seem to branch into almost two separate figures as if the subject were on the brink of falling apart.

A former 1940s warehouse-turned-residential loft in Soho, NYC, designed by maximalist master, Kelly Wearstler.

We absolutely love Wearstler’s designed Signature Rouched Leather Souffle Sofa and vintage Pierre Palin chair covered in hand-painted leather. The 1960s black and ivory decoupage screen of winding snakes definitely makes a bold statement!

The juxtaposition of vigorous and masculine elements with curved silhouettes of a more feminine character bring a stylish complexity and signature luxe balance to the residence.

Sterling Studios is a specialist decorative arts company which offers clients an extensive collection of exquisite bespoke finishes all hand crafted in their London workshop.

This studio produces a large range of cracked or crackled gesso finishes. We think these would look beautiful when applied to large wall areas, including curved surfaces. The strong texture of this range lends itself to use in panelling, furniture and accessories and can be made in limitless colour combinations.

Handmade straw marquetry by the talented Alexander Lamont. The stem of natural cured straw is split, flattened, softened and scraped or ironed into a flat ribbon. It is then inlaid edge to edge on paper or wood until the surface is covered - the whole process is handmade!

Silvered straw marquetry and Koto veneer.

We think the straw marquetry would create beautifully detailed cabinets, mirror frames, lamp bases, boxes as well as wall paneling. The special aspect of straw is that is has a surface that reflects light uniquely and subtly.

Can’t resist Jean-Louis Deniot’s transformation of an 18th-century apartment in the heart of Paris! The designer mixed both classical and contemporary when redesigning this 2,000-square-foot apartment.

KITCHEN

Upper cabinets fitted with mirrored facings.

DINING ROOM

The dining table and chairs are vintage. Galerie Diurne rug and grisaille mural by Florence Girette, a contemporary take on the wallpapers of 18th-century Zuber.

Because the room had no natural light, Deniot used a darker floor to make the walls look brighter.

Guerlain, one of the older perfumeries in the world, has undergone a renovation by luxury architect Peter Marino in celebration of its 100th year anniversary.

We find it fascinating how the walls seem to be painted with brush strokes but are actually fabrics which have been cut and hand sewn onto a base panel.

Marino suspended Philippe Starck crystal chandeliers over each sales counters and made sure everything was reflected in the mirror on the ceiling.

ATELIER PIERRE BONNEFILLE Incredible art, murals and furniture. We have been lucky to have worked with Pierre Bonnefille in our previous projects. What is so unique with the artists is that he creates the paintings from mineral powder, limestone, lava marble and earth from natural pigments and metallic powders.
