The design trade

An advisory service built for interior designers: work chosen with an editor’s eye for the room and a curator’s eye for the market, at the project’s scale and budget.

For designers

We understand the wish to lift a project with singular, compelling work while holding the balance between a client’s taste and the designer’s intent.

Understanding the editorial eye as well as the curatorial eye is our specialty. With investment value in mind where it matters, the transformative power of art folds into the feeling the design evokes.

Our extended network of art historians, curators and market analysts gives designers insight into the art world and access that is otherwise impossible: galleries, artists and private collectors around the world, rare and sought-after pieces, and the logistics, authentication and after-care that come with them.
