My interiors are often described as having a maximalist, more-is-more sensibility with their bold and expressive mix of color, pattern and materials. But these decorative elements are always layered over a strong and considered structure. I can definitely be a maximalist, but the principles of clean and rational modernism still underpin everything I do, no matter how decorative and richly layered the completed space becomes. I think that’s why I would describe my style as layered because that’s really the through-line connecting all of my projects, whether it’s a raw and brutalist space referencing mid-century Brazilian modernism or 90s hard-edged minimalism or it’s a high-drama extravaganza full of color clashes, collected objects and pattern play. Personally, I’ve always been drawn to the aesthetics of the Studio 54 era and its meeting of art, fashion, set design, architecture and music. That’s a creative world I often return to as a reference point for my interior design work and homewares collection. I love a disco era palette of mixed metals, mirrored finishes, burgundy and lacquer. And again, it really comes back to layering, conjuring an evocative space from the alchemy of different textural elements.
