In many luxury interiors, artworks are treated as the final flourish that “completes” a room.
But when design is thoughtful, art is anything but an afterthought.
At our studio, art is a structural part of the concept, just as important as furniture, lighting, or texture. That’s why we talk about it from the very first steps of every project.
When a Client Already Owns a Piece
Some clients arrive with something personal: a painting, a sculpture, a family heirloom, or an object they simply connect with. We bring that piece into the conversation early: Where do we place it? How do we light it?
A beloved artwork can become a powerful accent that influences other design choices. Its market value is irrelevant; what matters is its meaning to the client.
When a Client Has an Artist but No Finished Work
Right now, we’re designing the interior for a 50‑metre yacht in construction. The owner wants the salon’s centre‑piece created by an artist he admires, but the piece doesn’t exist yet. From day one, we have shaped the space using the artist’s sketches as a starting point.
Working with an academic artist doesn’t mean ordering a painting. We discuss the whole concept: share ideas, textures, the mood we want. Together, we explore how the piece can expand that feeling, not just mark a spot on the wall, but weave a line that unifies the room.
The artist produces sketch series and texture samples. We look beyond motif: surface, brush rhythm, tactile quality. The client joins when he wishes; we review options in his language. If he prefers, we can make the call with the artist.
When a Client Doesn’t Know Where to Start
Most often, clients feel overwhelmed by options. They want a unique signature but don’t know which path to take.
One luxury duplex started exactly there. The owners had no artist and no specific piece in mind; they only knew the apartment needed a personal stamp.
Our first question wasn’t “Which painting should you buy?” but “What should you feel as you move through each room?”
Together, we decided the entire interior had to pulse with a single, recognisable theme.
We found inspiration in an expressive black‑and‑white portrait, a line drawing whose strokes can be scaled and transformed with ease.
- In the living room, the portrait grows into a large‑format canvas: a slim black frame and a bold composition that sets the tone from the very first glance.
- The hallway becomes an intimate gallery. A variation of the same strokes hangs between two wall lamps, instantly fixing your gaze and turning a simple passage into a modern focal point.
In the study, the motif dissolves into an abstract whisper on the wall—fragments of line, like quiet graffiti that energises focus.
Threading through every scene is a warm ochre accent: on cushions, armchairs, and small details, linking each chapter of the same story.
The result is an interior that beats with one theme yet remains rich and layered, just like the people who live in it.
From Sketch to Feeling
Once the direction is set and the preferred sketches approved, two more phases follow: the artist produces a larger working study with the intended texture, and only then begins the final piece.
Throughout the process, we focus on everything that surrounds the artwork: its position, proportions, eye‑level height, the quality of light at different times of day, and the way the client will live in the room.
Because art isn’t there to fill a wall. It’s there to deliver emotion.
Sometimes It Isn’t Even a Painting
Art inside a space doesn’t have to stop at canvases or sculptures. We often team up with artists to create finished elements: wallcoverings, glass panels, textile accents…
In one apartment, the hallway was nothing more than a passageway, so we set out to make it a moment of discovery. The owner was fascinated by the work of an Italian painter, so we invited her to collaborate. Her composition was translated onto a full‑height glass panel that hides a tiny storage room; as you walk past, every brushstroke is visible, and the corridor becomes a mini‑gallery leading to the bedrooms.
Our next story takes us to Subotica, a city famous for its Art Nouveau heritage. While redesigning a hotel reception in the old town, we wanted guests to feel that spirit the moment they stepped inside. We reached out to the Zsolnay factory and together developed a series of decorative ceramic tiles inspired by local ornaments. The hotel’s stylised logo is pressed into the glaze, colours are tuned to the interior, and the tile band now crowns the front desk, a quiet ambassador of tradition greeting every guest.
In both projects, art isn’t a “bonus” hung on a wall; it’s woven into the architecture and tells its story every day.
You Don’t Have to Know What You Want. You Just Need to Know How You Want to Feel.
This is the most important message for anyone afraid of choosing art.
We don’t expect you to know the difference between oil and acrylic, or to hunt down a piece that represents you.
Our job is to ask, listen, translate your feeling into space and then, together with artists, create something that is neither copy, cliché, nor trend.
Something that is truly yours.
