The experience of viewing art in a pristine, white-walled gallery or museum can allow for quiet contemplation. But when an artwork—be it a small drawing on paper or a monumental painting—is placed within an interior setting, it takes on a life of its own and has the power to transform our everyday lives. The dialogue and unexpected contrasts an artwork can create with one’s furniture and collectible design are entirely unique and thrilling.
For the inaugural Galerie House of Art and Design, we tapped some of the world’s most important contemporary galleries to collaborate with the participating designers on their unique visions. For some, art formed the starting point of their concept. For others, it was the finishing touch, pulling everything together in perfect harmony.
