FRESH FROM THE FARM

Whether it be a leather stuffed animal, a horse-shaped lamp or a bed shaped like a bird, animal-style accessories can liven up a room and inject some comedy into a space!

Francois--Xavier Lalanne bed

Canopy bed sculpture by François Lalanne in an early Paris apartment living room of Jacques Grange. From the book French Style by Suzanne Slesin & Stafford Cliff.

Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne worked and exhibited together for decades and hold a particular place in the world of contemporary art. As well known for their monumental sculptures as their day-to-day objects, they took their inspiration from nature and animals, always trying to ensure that their work was beautiful as well as practical.

 If you lift up the sides of the giant brass rhinoceros by François-Xavier Lalanne, it turns into a secretaire with a writing table and storage boxes.

WINE CELLARS

We are currently designing a climate controlled wine closet for one of our clients who is an avid wine collector. Displaying a wonderful collection of wines in a wine closet, wine cellar or tasting room is an excellent way to add character and luxury to your home. We love wine cellars with a contemporary touch, incorporating modern elements into an old tradition.

This suspension system created by Sand Studios is a beautiful, contemporary way of displaying a treasured collection of bottles.

For those with limited space, creating wine storage below ground in a custom spiral staircase can be a convenient and interesting solution.

PURPLE RAIN

We are very excited about our latest interior design project - the remodel of a townhouse in the beautiful hills of Pacific Palisades, CA. 
We are transforming the house into a sophisticated, modern space reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour and luxury. Pairing deep plum-violets with crisp whites, platinums and neutrals with splashes of mustard-yellow, the house will be layered with rich color and texture. Black-and-white photography, one-of-a-kind accessories, metallic accents and a custom wine closet will complete this opulent look.


Here is a sneak peek of some of our inspirations:

Combine chocolate browns and plums with shimmering fabrics or reflective metallics for a rich look.
