Drawing inspiration from extensive travels, an active interest in contemporary art and fashion, and a rigorous lifestyle, Sara wields a keen eye to exact her aesthetic vision: crisp, elegant, and comfortable gestures that thoughtfully balance multiple elements of good design for an everyday, polished Life.
Story designed a plan where in each room would happen something surprising “each artwork is in conversation with another piece of art or a chair or a lamp”. With a neutral palette, Sara introduced elements to add some fun, color and bring the owners personality into every room. The modern interior design project is the perfect setting to appreciate the spectacular mountain views.
