Alexandria and Antom (Wong)
When artisan woodworker Aleksandra Zee and musician Antom Kury moved in together, they kicked off a new chapter in their life with a purge. As two artists that lead a busy, exciting life, they knew they needed to create a space that’s calm and peaceful to come home to. While they both tend to gravitate towards a clean, minimalist style, they also value creating a personality-filled home that both inspires and breeds creativity.
While sometimes the day can get crazy, Aleksandra and Antom make sure it’s neat and organized by cleaning routinely. As artists, it’s important for both of them to be able to go to bed and wake up in a clean, peaceful space. “It’s good for creativity– to be calm and peaceful where you lay your head,” describes Aleksandra.
The mix of textiles and patterns also keeps Aleksandra’s creative juices flowing. “All of my art is inspired by textiles,” she described. When searching for the perfect piece, she advises looking for a good color scheme and pattern. Trunk: Alameda Flea Market; basket: The Perish Trust; textile: Pendleton; lamp: antique
