Flanking the quilt is an aged copper tabletop repurposed as sculptural wall art, which introduces rich patina, texture, and metallic warmth. Together, these collected pieces create a gallery-worthy composition that celebrates global design influences, bespoke styling, and timeless luxury through carefully curated heirloom and artisan elements.

This uptown condo overlooking Klyde Warren Park was the perfect canvas for our unique, eclectic and modern design approach. We transformed the space with a mix of bold printed grasscloth, luxurious marble and rich fabrics, infusing personality into every corner. The kitchen received a stunning facelift with a striking waterfall peninsula, while the den’s bar area became a bold statement of style. With carefully selected art, furnishings, lighting and accessories, we created a cohesive and elevated aesthetic that perfectly reflects the homeowners’ vision. The result? A home that not only wows but feels deeply personal and inspiring.
