A Conversation Starter in the Stairway
A stunning sculpture installation in this home designed by Catherine Ebert turns an ordinary walk up the stairs into an engaging experience, as each Chatterbox catches and reflects light, creating a dynamic interplay of shadows and reflections. Cascading along the staircase and up onto the adjacent wall, the sculptures invite viewers to interact with the space in a whole new way. It’s as if the chatterboxes are in conversation with each other and the architecture, adding a layer of sophistication and playful energy to the home.

A Suspended Surprise in the Window
Galiani Design Group chose a creative placement for this Hunt Slonem butterfly painting; the piece is not simply hung on a wall, but suspended by chains in front of a window. The playful flutter of the butterflies in Slonem’s signature style gains a new dimension as natural light filters through, casting delicate shadows that dance around the room. This unique display method transforms the artwork into a living, breathing part of the space, where the changing light of day continuously alters its appearance. It’s an imaginative way to highlight Slonem’s work, making the painting an ever-changing centerpiece that captivates and creates privacy in the space.
A Playful Addition to the Kitchen
These hyper-realistic glass sculptures by Dylan Martinez, meticulously crafted to resemble plastic bags filled with water, create a stunning visual illusion. Sitting behind the glass cabinets in this collector’s kitchen, this placement allows light to interact with the delicate ripples and reflections. The sculptures add a whimsical and unexpected element to the kitchen, transforming a functional space into a delightful conversation piece and a testament to the magic of illusion in art.
