This project was a total refurbishment of a rather neglected mansion flat on Chelsea Embankment for the new owners,  a retired North American couple who wanted a comfortable base in London from which to explore Europe. We sought to make the flat feel as though nothing much had been done except a gentle refurb and some new furniture when in fact the apartment and all its its services and layout was completely overhauled to make a backdrop for the clients collection of ceramics and photography.
I love the old world vibe of this space. It’s elegantly casual and chic without being pretentious. Designed by Adam Bray. Photos: Oskar Proctor

“The pairing of Sella and British collage artist Natasha Briefel celebrates Natasha’s evocative and daring collage style against a backdrop of elegance and sophistication. The result is a perfect harmony of colour, postmodern design and character in the heart of Hackney.”

Striking collages and post-modern furniture. It’s a pairing made in heaven. Add some quirk and controversy and this collaboration between designer and artist packs a big punch in a tiny Hackney flat. The Artist’s Lair by Sella Concept.

“Instilled with a European sensibility, East End Residence combines a delicacy in refined detail, together with a complete reimagining of the interior to anchor itself in place for many years to come. Set within Adelaide’s heritage East End precinct, the original home sits as a relatively contemporary insertion, yet lacked purpose. Drawing from an original connection to an artisanal approach and the weaving of industry, the home becomes a reawakening of both opportunity and place. The underlying focus hones in on creating a realignment to the surrounds, reinforcing views out toward the parklands as well as enhancing movement throughout.”

“This Haussmannian apartment houses a clever mix of strong contemporary pieces, nuanced by furniture with vintage accents. The bold colour choices, the onyx of the worktops, the marbled resin of the floor and the curved red wall of the kitchen shake up this traditional Parisian interior.”

It’s like I woke up from a dream in my dream apartment. This home in Ixelles, Belgium is a sophisticated exploration of existing and new with a stand-out art collection and an enviable collection of furniture. Architect designer Bernard Dubois was a photographer in a previous life and it tells in the composition, light and colour of this chic home.
