“Informed clients are better clients, and they make for better design.” — Kelly Wearstler Quote

Informed clients are better clients, and they make for better design.

Everything I commission - whether it is for me or for a client's home or for a hotel or office - is absolutely unique to that job. I have everything made, or I find vintage and antique pieces at markets and auctions.

My husband and I go to Il Fico every Friday, and I get the whole-wheat pizza. I won't eat pizza anywhere else!

My mother handed down all these amazing scarves from the sixties and seventies, and I have a hundred of them.

Once I've designed something, I immediately move on to the next thing.

Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for everyone in a civilized society.

English is taking over the world. I just wrote a piece about it. And it's not by design. The United States dominates because it's the biggest market.

I enjoy trying to inspire myself. I enjoy the artistic side of everything. Music, art, fashion, everything. I just like to be on the cutting edge of it. I'm into designing houses and interior design. I like change. I like creating things out of nothing.

Apart from differentiating our spaces with design, we also look for buildings that have distinctive character. We make sure every seat is a good one.
