Designer Favorites (Part 3)

We recently released Issue 6 of our Designer Favorites lookbook—filled with inspiring spaces and standout artwork. In this post, we’re spotlighting three of the featured designers and the pieces they’re currently loving from our collection. Take a look at their picks and see how art brings their spaces to life.

Marguerite Rodgers (Marguerite Rodgers Interiors)

Design: Marguerite Rodgers Interiors; Photography: Halkin Mason Photography; Art: Takefumi Hori

 

Marguerite’s Favorite:

“When I first viewed this photograph I thought that it was a painting. I find it to be romantic, magical and thought provoking…Who is the woman and what is she thinking? Is she alone or with someone in another boat? Is she enjoying a peaceful moment or contemplating jumping in? I love that it would stimulate ones dreams, fantasies and desires and encourage conversations. The scale allows it to carry a room, and I would be thrilled to place in one of our projects.”

Margery Wedderburn (Margery Wedderburn Interiors)

Design: Margery Wedderburn Interiors; Art: Hunt Slonem

 

Margery’s Favorite:

“What I love about Paul Balmer’s work is that each piece reminds me of a place that I’ve visited. This particular piece reminds me of many trips across the U.S. where the peaceful sunlight reflects on the meadow just right and brings out all the beautiful and vibrant tones of nature. I want to walk into his art and see what’s there on that distant hillside.”

Melissa Sanabria (Sanabria & Co.)

Design: Sanabria & Co.; Photography: Angela Newton Roy; Art: Wendy Westlake

Melissa’s Favorite:

“I have really been leaning into colorful art lately — it’s such a fun way to bring color and a playful element in the room. Garden Party by Sherri Belassen is such a fun vibe and I love the play on perspective.”

Stephanie Bradshaw 

Design: Stephanie Bradshaw; Photography: Stacy Zarin Goldberg; Art: Geoffrey Gersten

 

Stephanie’s Favorite:

“We absolutely love this piece and are considering it for a current commercial project. The bold colors and dynamic movement make a striking impression, especially when viewed from across a large space. It’s a definite showstopper!”
