IN 2015, VT IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE OUR ENTRY INTO HOME. OUR MOTTO HAS ALWAYS BEEN IMAGE, IDENTITY, CLARITY, AND DEFINING YOUR STYLE TYPE GIVES YOU A PLACE TO BEGIN. ONCE YOU HAVE REACHED THAT CLARITY, IT IS A NATURAL EVOLUTION TO TRANSLATE THAT INTO YOUR ENVIRONMENT AS AN EXPRESSION OF YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF.
DESIGNING YOUR HOME BASED ON YOUR STYLE TYPE (OR AT LEAST INFUSING THE ELEMENTS) ALLOWS YOU TO CREATE THE PERFECT SPACE THAT REPRESENTS THE BEST VERSION OF YOU. JOIN US EACH WEEK AS WE SHARE OUR POINT OF VIEW ON THE INCREDIBLE WORLD OF INTERIOR DESIGN, APPLYING OUR PRINCIPLES AND PHILOSOPHIES TO EVERYTHING FROM ART AND ARCHITECTURE TO CURRENT TRENDS AND DESIGNERS.
In our recent article on sculptural design, I mentioned the significance of carefully selecting furniture and how some of the most fascinating rooms also happen to contain the most sculptural elements.
This week, our focus is on using sculptural chairs to complete a room and make a statement. When choosing furniture, it’s important to consider all view points. If you have a pair of chairs that are stationary against a wall, it may not be necessary for the backs of the chairs to contain much detail. On the other hand, if you have a chair floating in a room, be sure the form is visually interesting and appealing from every angle.
