Classic refurbishment featuring fine art and French antiques, completed in 2023 for a private client, showcasing custom furnishings, bespoke carpets, and carefully curated artwork by local artists.
This was a large refurbishment. The brief was to furnish with quality fabrics, lighting, artwork and furniture, with a very close eye on detail. The look was driven by my clients love of American designer Ralph Lauren, in particular his tartan woolen upholstery, a nod to my clients heritage.
I commissioned Sallee Carpets to custom dye a plush cut pile carpet in French blue. The wool was sourced in Christchurch, dispatched to India for dying then to the Melbourne factory to be made into a beautiful velvety carpet.
The French antiques where sourced through the importer, French and Sons Bulls. The art works by local artists including Fran Dibble, Amy Blackburn, Adele Dubarry and others
I Commissioned furniture by Christchurch manufacturer Montreux. The chandeliers were sourced from Eunice Taylor.
