VENICE CANALS

The Venice Canals project was inspired by the client's art collection which guided the design to uniquely integrate and showcase the artwork beyond simple gallery wall displays. The color palette and materiality were both carefully selected to complement the vast collection, using punchy choices like supple velvet, aged leather, and green Brazilian quartzite.

In collaboration with the architect and design firm, Electric Bowery, we emphasized the use of warm, organic materials that are understated yet impactful. The space was styled with vintage and artisan-made ceramics, textiles, sculptures, and handblown glassware. Aligning with the homeowner's desire to incorporate special, everyday objects, we curated items like splatter mugs by Memphis Group founder Peter Shire for morning espressos and adaptogens.

Art placement and installation were meticulously managed through several sessions, organizing a diverse array of sculptures, pop art, abstract expressionism, black and white photography, and Los Angeles art. In the powder room, Hugh Holland’s photograph, Down on the Corner, finds its place among warm terra-cotta floors, limewashed walls and brushed gold fixtures. To soften the industrial aesthetic in the bath and bedrooms, we incorporated Belgian linen and plush, organically-grown cotton Bulgari towels, brought back from the couple’s honeymoon in Dubai. These elements create a sense of retreat, adding a luxurious feel to the home's spaces dedicated to rest.
