An additional challenge

Between knowledge, taste and budget prerogatives, buying art is quite a challenge in itself. Integrating it within a specific interior design is an extra challenge.

 

A collecting approach

Advising to serve a given interior design is successful when the art is at the center of the consideration, only to be adapted to given dimensions and budget.

 

Experience helps

We collaborated with many interior design projects which have been published by specialised press and magazines.

Art as an signature

Whether installed in a private garden, a corporate lobby or a real estate outdoor project, the presence of monumental art immediately conveys an identity and illustrates an intention.

Because installing monumental art projects requires particular means to insure safety and durability, they tend to live a longer life on one specific location. Such a durable landmark demands thorough selection efforts.

 

Scale, environment & perspective

When it comes to placing art, each environment is a different curatorial challenge and demands specific considerations. Adapting the art to a defined environment is the key to a successful integration.
