From the very beginning, we anchored the entire design around two elements: the warm wood tones of the furniture and the client’s family heirloom Persian rug, rich with undertones of rust, indigo, and deep wine became the emotional and visual foundation of the space. From there, we built a color story that balanced warmth and depth without tipping into nostalgia. As the client perfectly put it, the goal was to create a true mid-century modern home “without crossing the line into mid-century grandma.” That line became our north star. The result is an eclectic mix of contemporary and vintage, clean, layered, and full of personality.

Function was just as important as form. A custom sofa was designed in a durable, pet-friendly upholstery that holds up to real life without ever looking utilitarian. We installed a bespoke, wall-mounted cat tree that blends seamlessly into the architecture (a functional design element disguised as sculpture). Two arched custom-cut mirrors were added to amplify light and create rhythm along the feature wall. A vintage wishbone chair reupholstered in a tonal geometric fabric became a subtle pattern moment that feels collected, not contrived.
