Design Explorations

 These works explore potential upholstery and finish directions on curated vintage frames. Some silhouettes may no longer be available; concepts may be reinterpreted on comparable forms. 

Textile Direction

Balancing pattern & texture for seduction and romance

Fabric Placement

The restraint of the solid seat allows the flowers to "breathe."

The Result

✧ Cognac & a Kiss ✧ 

The unexpected leopard on the outside back provides just the right amount of tension.

Textile Direction

One palette - two personalities. (optional stripes on outside back)

Formal Expression

Relaxed Expression

✧ Jazz Bar ✧ — Tuxedo

Disciplined geometry and matte black shift create salon elegance. 

Relaxed Expression

Relaxed Expression

✧ Jazz Bar ✧ — Smoking Jacket

Same fabrics on a curved silhouette translate to relaxed intimacy. 

✧ Tête et Cœur ✧

A study in contrast and conversation - balanced between thought and feeling.

✧ Monte Carlo ✧

Riviera-inspired. Designed for low light and architectural restraint.

✧ The Breakers ✧

Palm Beach resort glamour. Bold and unapologetically graphic. 

✧ Park Avenue ✧

 An exploration of structure, contrast, and metropolitan polish.

✧Black Tie Safari✧

✧Black Tie Safari✧

 Graphic asymmetry  — formal and feral, tailored and untamed.
