One of our favorite ways to pair art and objects is to repeat the texture and depth in each piece in a palette that reflects natural color tones. This way the collector has the opportunity to create a very warm and luxurious space that exudes sophistication while also being very comfortable.
NATURAL ABSTRACTION
Artists like Julie Sneed, Jamie Kirkland and Patrick Adams interpret nature in their paintings that illustrate their observations in abstract ways. Their unique perspective creates engaging paintings in rich tones.

One of the most celebrated restaurants in the world, and home to some of its driest martinis, the locale has been a favorite among Hollywood celebrities and literary notables since opening in 1931. Today the Ciprianis helm a veritable empire of clubs and restaurants across the globe, and the family's original venue was declared a national landmark by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Affairs in 2001.
DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN? HOW OUR MEMORIES BETRAY US.
