“We need our rooms to align us to desirable versions of ourselves and to keep alive the important, evanescent sides of us.”
Alain de Botton, The Architecture of Happiness
What is a young man to do when faced with the excitement of furnishing his very first solo home? Call on his interior design mom for help, of course.
It helps when we know the client well. Taking into account his old world aesthetic leanings, and his youthful (only 20!) obsession with books, movies, music and anime art, the result is a vibe that exudes eclectic maturity with a soulful edge.

A perfect alignment of person and place.
