A grafting of Eastern and Western aesthetics nurtures the family’s visual instincts and interests. Grounded silhouettes emerge in thriving textures, with intriguingly pleasing comminglings of vintage and contemporary designs coalescing in the tactile nuances of simple materials. Exquisite wood detailing innovates Japanese and Scandinavian traditions, while Chroma’s prolific curation and custom furnishings source fresh expressive depth for a contemporary home that pours into its own, awakening the making of their life together.
