Curated Living: The Art Collector's Apartment

This project holds a special place for Anna and her design team, as it was thoughtfully designed to celebrate the client’s remarkable collections of paintings, vases, and records. The primary goal was to seamlessly integrate these cherished pieces into the overall design while crafting the ambiance of a home rich with history. Each painting, set in unique, bespoke frames, highlights the significance of the space where every detail becomes an art object. Anna envisioned an atmospheric neoclassical interior enriched with Art Deco influences from the 1920s and 1930s, creating a timeless and elegant living environment.
