Something that has always inspired us is art in spaces. It’s interesting that we have been attracting more and more clients for who this is also important without intentionally seeking them out. Client’s usually have existing pieces and occasionally are looking for new ones.
Art can say a lot about a person’s personal aesthetic. We take these perceptions and translate them into a colour palette or over arching design concept for their interior. There are times when the art and the client’s collected mood imagery seem to be out of alignment and so the design is manipulated to be able to pull those elements together in a way that feels appropriate and fulfils the desired mood or atmosphere of the space.
Early on we often will determine the best locations for a client’s favourite works and some pieces will be placed lastly once the space is otherwise complete. Sculptural pieces are often lost in the clutter of the things we accumulate. Providing them a space to breathe and be seen elevates their value and encourages conversation and story telling among friends.
Being so personal a purchase should be meaningful to and resonate with it’s owner. We believe every purchase is an investment regardless of it’s monetary value. So much more pleasure is derived when you truly love and value an object.
A recent Here Magazine event hosted at Objectspace saw four well known creatives share their most loved object, that they possessed and one they coveted. It was interesting to note these items were valuable for their deep meaning rather than their price tag. I haven’t yet figured out which of my objects is my most treasured but I encourage you to ask yourself. And consider what you most covet. Your conclusions may surprise you.
Here are a few of our projects that have used art to set the scheme or tie in with it.
