Nature

From breath-taking sunsets and beautiful blue water, to tiny intricacies on flower petals and land/cityscapes with endless depth… the most magical inspiration surrounds us. It teaches the importance of perspective, humility and gratitude. Our designs integrate the vibrant colors, contrasts, soft lighting and breadth of texture nature so generously graces us with.

Black & White

Black and white create a stunning contrast. The dramatic pairing can be utilized as the central principle for a design, establishing a minimalist and chic aesthetic. Or, if purposed as an eye-popping accessory amid a more diverse blend of furnishings, it becomes a conversation piece. In both instances the impact is powerful and timelessly elegant.

Metallics & Mirrors

Metallics and mirrors have an intimate relationship with lighting. Together they sparkle, dance, shimmer and reflect. They glow, brighten, enhance, and intensify. We favor using metals in a multitude of finishes to add weight to a design, coupled with mirrored glass to give the illusion a space is larger than it is. When well positioned, these two infuse a polished balance.

Neutrals & Earth Tones

Light airy hues and rich earthy palettes create strong monochromatic foundations upon which pieces with more dynamic character can be layered. Neutrals add an inviting warmth and serenity, while earth tones lead the senses to believe an interior is cohesive with its surroundings. Adaptable to any geographic setting, furnishings and accessories within the scope of these two themes can be frequently rearranged to revitalize older designs.

Wood, Leather, Fur & Stone

The authenticity of natural materials is inimitable. Wood, leather, fur and stone (among many others) have inherently unique properties that make no two cuts the exact same. Because of their distinctive coloring and blemishes, luxurious appearance and ability to wear beautifully over time, they are prominent elements within each of our designs.

Color

Color speaks volumes. Vibrant, muted, light, dark, starkly contrasted or simple and soft - it injects personality. With unlimited versatility, it is the most integral decision for every fitting, fixture, texture, paint, wallpaper, furnishing, and selection of artwork. It’s ability to tie a space together is unparalleled relative to any other design element.

Textures & Patterns

For a design to impart a memorable experience, it must tantalize more than one of our senses. Textures and patterns do just that, either subtly or noticeably. Textures stimulate touch – from soft velvets and cashmere to course jute and hardened steel – they directly influence our level of comfort and impression of formality. Patterns dazzle the eyes, challenging us to decipher what we’re looking at. These two elements enhance depth and compliment the personality color is trying to convey.

Ambiance

Lighting is to ambiance as a host is to a dinner party – it sets the tone. When properly composed, a magnificent glow can perfectly illuminate a space at any time of day. When neglected, an ordinarily great space can suddenly have a sterile, harsh and uninviting feel. We seek to maximize natural lighting, supplementing with a variety of fixtures to foster a warm, affectionate, connected environment.

Florals & Greenery

Florals and greenery embody the strengths and purposes of every other design element, dead or alive. They naturally bring the outdoors in (earth tones, wood and stone), they add character and depth (color, textures and patterns) and when lit from below they create the most heavenly glow (ambiance). We just love them.
