What is your most loved furniture piece?

As a designer, my taste in furniture is constantly evolving, and I frequently find myself falling in love with new pieces. However, I must admit that I have always had a soft spot for the Rio Lounge Chair by Oscar Niemeyer; it is like a functional piece of art.

Is there a certain style that you love to use for summer?

I hold a strong belief in the enduring appeal of timeless design, which is why I like to invest in architecturally designed spaces and meticulously crafted furniture pieces. During the summer season, my personal preference leans towards the embrace of bold and comfortable furnishings. This approach leads to beautifully decluttered spaces that effortlessly resonate with the essence of joy and overall well-being.

What pieces are perfect for beach houses and Air BnBs to create that luxurious, but cool feel?

I have recently completed the design and renovation of a beach house up north, and our approach was centered around selecting items that bring comfort, style, and practicality to the forefront. We invested in hidden and practical storage solutions while leveraging light fixtures as design accents to infuse a touch of elegance. Our choice gravitated towards lighter timber furniture pieces, allowing us to explore the interplay of shapes and textures, ultimately curating an inviting and effortlessly cool atmosphere. In a beach house or Airbnb setting, my mindset automatically leans towards ‘pack and leave.’ It is all about practicality, functionality, and the allure of understated luxury.

Tell us about the best window furnishings?

That will really depend on the specific needs of the space, the location in the house, the size of the room, etc. Personally, I am a big fan of curtains. If I could, I would use them everywhere. T hey are a great way of adding an extra layer of texture, a sense of comfort, and a luxurious feel.

Is there a tip or trick that everyone can use in their homes?

If you are looking for a refreshing change in your home, consider rearranging rooms, moving furniture around, or adding a new piece of art— or even a mirror. Mirrors are a great way to bounce extra light, and they also create a sense of space.
