COOL ACRYLIC

Incorporating acrylic furniture and accessories into a room is great way of creating the illusion of more space .
Acrylic  furniture looks weightless and creates a clean, modern feel. Beautiful when contrasted with rich and varied textures such as fabric, leathers or wood, acrylic accents are a wonderful way to keep a room feeling light and playful.

SPECTACULAR LIGHTING

We are currently in the process of designing a dining room lighting installation for a client that loves entertaining friends and family in their beautiful Los Angeles home. Mounted above a one-of-a-kind custom dining table, this large cluster of lights suspended at irregular heights will dazzle the diner and create a wonderful play of light in the room, setting the stage for spectacular dinner and holiday parties.

The Mira, having a reputation as Hong Kong's "hottest" hotel, is beautifully designed, featuring modern and sometimes whimsical designs that are stylish and impressive. Their breathtaking lighting installations, seen below, set the stage for an unforgettable experience.
Here is a sneak-peek of our design concept for our client's dining room: a sculptural expression through glass and light.

JEWELRY FOR YOUR HOME

Originally a jewelry designer for Yves Saint Laurent and Lacroix as well as a perfume bottle designer for Christian Dior, Parisian Hervé van der Straeten is now also renowned for his modern furniture and lighting designs.

Whatever his creations - consoles, mirrors, cabinets, lighting, perfume bottles or jewelry – "Van der Straeten constantly explores a graphic purity and makes radical choices in terms of movement, elegance and unconventional, unexpected expression".

His instantly recognizable designs are known for their often contrasting materials, bold form and elegant lines. "He's a renaissance man of design, lending his talents to interiors and furniture, handcrafted in his workshop just outside Paris" writes Booth Moore for the Los Angeles Times.

We are inspired by his contemporary, often provocative style. His finely crafted designs are sculptural, artistic expressions that will surely stand the test of time.
