Evocative of avant-garde art and couture, the home’s vibrant colors, patterns, and textures enliven every room. Eclectically composed with vintage, contemporary, and signature Chroma creations, the spaces reverberate with the consonance of bold aesthetic choices. With dramatic textiles and leathers, glossy ceramics and honed stone, saturated resins, and natural and slick lacquered woods, each intricate layer exudes a radical, easeful joy.
