Earth and Images

We were honored to design two spaces in ICONIC HAUS. We wanted to create “galleries,” where one can enjoy their stroll to each room. The word gallery inspired us to source fine art. We can display artistry of so many trades and crafts, where the gallery can weave other rooms through the house together exploiting European tones with accompanying modern touches inspired by the Mod-iterranean architecture. Materials mimic the textures of the antique pots at the front door.

The floors feature hand-woven textile rugs, passed down the ages with new modernized patterns. Iron lighting itself combines old world technique with modern style. The inspiration of the space is much like the Earth and Images motto: comfort of the past and thrill of the future.

Our inspiration for the butler’s pantry was to complement the main kitchen while mixing Old-World sensibility and a modern twist. Herringbone violet and gold tile, unique to this space, adds a modern flair yet is keenly parallel with Mediterranean colors of royalty. White clay pots from local artists pay homage to silhouettes that have carried on through eras of European history while Rorschach-like paintings are a nod to modern-day use of abstract art.
