Our clients, a well-traveled couple, commissioned us to create a refreshed mid-century modern interior that balances timeless design with contemporary flair. Every element was thoughtfully chosen to carry meaning and purpose, resulting in a uniquely curated living space. Through close collaboration, we developed a vibrant narrative that blends eclectic styles with sculptural forms and bold color palettes. Their love for bright, unexpected hues inspired striking color-blocking and dynamic contrasts throughout the home.

To elevate the design, we partnered with skilled local artisans who crafted bespoke details, from the custom fireplace surround to the hand-painted bedroom screen, delivering an artistic fusion reminiscent of Paul Smith’s playfulness and van Gogh’s vivid intensity. The overall atmosphere embodies a minimal yet warm and inviting aesthetic, perfect for clients seeking a modern mid-century interior that is both expressive and comfortable.
