“There’s no such thing as a bad mirror, just a poorly placed one.” – Barbara Eberlein

The designing opportunities with mirrors are endless, especially when you think outside the box regarding what a mirror can and should be. Gilding, silver leaf, repoussé metalwork, and reflective crystals can all provide gorgeous reflectivity and luminosity in a space. Tap the #linkinbio to take a look at our #DelanceyPlaceTownhouse project to further explore the illusions in design mirrors can create.

Just like in the spaces we design, the exploration

Just like in the spaces we design, the exploration of form, materiality, and color are elements that bring sculptor John Chamberlain’s abstract expressionist work to life. Currently, his work is on view in "Larry Bell & John Chamberlain" – an exhibition at @hauserwirth in Los Angeles focused on the reciprocity and explosive creativity of the two artists. Tap the #linkinbio for more information on the exhibition.

If you are a fan of Chamberlain’s work and want further inspiration, take a look at the #CentralParkCollector project on our website which features an untitled plexiglass sculpture alongside “Accumulation of Cups and Saucers” by artist, Aman.

Are you a fan of modern design? Famed modernist ar

Are you a fan of modern design? Famed modernist architect Richard Neutra, best known for his role in introducing the International Style into American architecture built his career predominantly designing single-family detached homes in Southern California for wealthy clients.

East Coast Neutra houses are rare, and the #EDC team had the unique opportunity to work on a comprehensive interior preservation of Neutra’s Pitcairn House located in Bryn Athyn, PA. The home boasts his signature dedication to “biorealism” with a design that carefully examines the intersection of the interior and exterior with almost every detail, similar to the approach taken with the design of Neutra’s own private residence, VDL House.

Click on the #linkinbio to enjoy an interactive experience of VDL House that includes a virtual tour, a chronology, and an extensive digital archive from the comfort of your home. For further inspiration, take a look at the #Cairncliff project on our website to see our approach to reimagining a modern architectural gem with vibrant Art Deco furniture.

“Blue has no dimensions. It is beyond dimensions

“Blue has no dimensions. It is beyond dimensions…" -Yves Klein

The otherworldly color of Venus Bleue, a sculpture by famed French artist Yves Klein that was curated as part of the art collection at our #CentralParkCollector project is the result of the artist’s exploration into pure color and the creation of his patented shade, “International Klein Blue” (IKB). Tap the #linkinbio to learn more about Klein and the story of how he created the renowned electric blue hue. For further inspiration, learn our team’s approach to transforming an Upper West Side pied-a-terre to accommodate our client’s notable contemporary art collection on the #EDC website.

Did you know the Devon Horse Show is the oldest an

Did you know the Devon Horse Show is the oldest and largest outdoor multi-breed horse show in the country? While the show is now internationally recognized and draws top competitors from around the world, the show continues to reflect the local traditions and lifestyles of the Main Line, including the area’s architectural traditions.

Once families settled into the “Main Line” area in the 1890s, horses were still used as the primary form of transportation. This need for horses can be seen echoed in the design, both interior and exterior of the renowned Cheswold estate designed by architects Furness & Evans in 1872 for Alexander Cassatt, president of The Pennsylvania Railroad. The home's multiple wide arches reveal the building’s original function as a stable and later a carriage house.

Can’t wait for the show in 2023? Stop by the Devon Fall Classic this weekend to support the legendary tradition, and for further inspiration, take a look at the #CheswoldCarriageHouse project on our website to view our reinterpretation of a carriage house into a cherished family home. #linkinbio

Love dogs? So do we! We love our client’s furry

Love dogs? So do we! We love our client’s furry friends and ensuring the spaces we design enriches their lives as well is important to us. As our needs evolve over time, an expertly crafted space evolves to meet those. This keeps a home vibrant and energized, ensuring its long and happy life for generations to come. This #NationalDogDay we would like to introduce you to Foley who recently benefited from the redesign at our #SophisticatedStoneManor project. Foley’s family desired a state-of-the-art kitchen, pantry, breakfast room, and family room to provide a new way of living and entertaining within their beloved home’s original footprint. Accessible storage and visual continuity were primary goals, with each being addressed to create a soft, elegant, multi-faceted room. Foley benefited from an enlarged “apartment” space under the kitchen counter we extended to full depth, doubling the footprint of his personal space. Check out the #linkinbio for a view of Foley’s home before the redesign and stay tuned to see more of the final renovation.

Meet Cameron, a recent graduate from the Interior

Meet Cameron, a recent graduate from the Interior Design program at @drexelwestphal, a former EDC intern, and now, the newest member of our design team. Her love for modern design serves as inspiration for everything she creates, adding a new value and strength to our team. Her passion for visual arts and creative expression with a vast technical skillset has shaped her integrative approach to beautiful, functional design.

Cameron’s favorite EDC project is the Central Park Collector, a stunning, Upper West Side pied-a-terre for a couple with a notable contemporary art collection. Cameron’s favorite aspect of the project is the furniture selection because it expertly, “Showcases how furniture can fulfill a utilitarian need while also serving as sculptural pieces.” Take a look at Cameron’s favorite view of our #CentralParkCollector project featuring a sculpture by internationally established contemporary painter, sculptor, and mixed media artist @manolovaldes acting as the centerpiece of the living room.

“Beauty is made up of relationships. It derives its prestige from a specific metaphysical truth, expressed through a host of balances, imbalances, waverings, surges, halts, meanderings, and straight lines, the peculiar quality of which, as a whole, add up to a marvelous number…”

During her stay in Venice, Barbara had the excitin

During her stay in Venice, Barbara had the exciting opportunity to visit the famed Luigi Bevilacqua weaving workshop. The roots of the Bevilacqua family in the textile world date back to 1499, and to this day, the workshop carries on the ancient Venetian art of silk weaving, combining historical designs and techniques with a touch of modernity. The workshop produces fine fabrics for furnishing and high fashion, including velvets, damasks, lampases, brocatelles, and “soprarizzo” velvet, luxury fabric with ancient roots which is still made by hand. Take a look #behindthescenes to see the weavers and looms at work.
