Who and what have inspired the most your work and style?
My father had a fine appreciation for personal style, and proudly shared his affection for clothing and quality made belongings with me. I have no doubt it was his smart, fashionable spirit that drew me to interior design as well. We bonded over a flair for personal style and held it in the highest regard. He 100% influenced my personal attention to style and taught me the importance of first impressions and standing on your own.
Regarding what inspires me, I'd say travel. Whenever, I’m feeling uninspired I say, “Wheels up… let’s go.” Yes, we all have access to faraway places now thanks to our iPhones, but actually immersing yourself in the art, music, fashion, and lifestyle of another culture is pretty transcendent.
What does "Made In Italy" means to you?
It expresses a stature of ageless creativity and enduring craftsmanship. Anything branded with Italian roots will be cherished with great pride.
Describe your design approach and philosophy.
Buy once, cry once! Make strong investments in quality, well-made furniture that will withstand everyday use and the design trends. It might seem expensive upfront, but when you look back at a piece ten years later, the likelihood is you will still love it.
What is the one décor you cannot imagine your clients and yourself living without?
Quality bedding. Luxury should be of utmost comfort and what you lay on for at least 7-8 hours each day should be no exception.
What is your idea of the ultimate luxury?
Bigger or grander is not better anymore. Quality is everything.
