Perhaps the major lesson from my experience is that stunning interiors often rely on simple styling principle that are quite easy to implement.

The light is very central, the space always needs various source of light to enable different inner atmosphere, no matters the size of your room. The light defines the forms and the tonality and thus the whole atmosphere in a given space.
Also, the natural elegance of quality materials has no substitute, the real luxury is always simplicity. The pleasure to eat on a real wooden table, the softness of a natural cotton velvet on a couch, the comfort of natural linen is irreplaceable whether on your bed, sofa or for curtains.
Ultimately audacity is the key to a successful interior decoration, harmony often arises from the interplay of old and new, matt and gloss, gravitas and laid back, ethnic and urban, in one word “eclecticism” even if this term is admittedly somewhat overworked.

To translate this conception of interior decoration I selected for nest numerous creations using exclusively noble material as oak and elm wood for furniture, stonewashed linen and cotton velvet for textile, stoneware and porcelain for kitchenware or Washi Japanese paper and ceramics for lighting.
I always keep in mind environmental concerns and preservation of traditional know-how.
Creators and designers distributed by nest are mostly craft workers creating hand-made objects blending ancestral techniques using natural and non-polluting materials, requiring different types of special manipulations to make each piece a unique piece.

For Tsé and Tsé Associées designers, every object requires special research in finding the best quality manufacturers. Noble materials are used, according to French traditional know-how, that favor quality and long-life features for the objects. Because of this, lamps, dishes and furniture are made in small series, sometimes individually and rarely over 1000 items per year. Every item is unique, and these differences are Tsé & Tsé’s inimitable signature.

Celine Wright lighting reconciles the artisanal and design. Using non-polluting human energy, one of the cloud-shape lights, molded and structured by hand, can be composed of more than 2000 bands of Washi paper. Using only a brush, its realization can take up to 4 days of work. ‘Our appreciation of time soothes our rhythms of constant consumption,’ underlines Celine Wright.

Each piece has been selected with the utmost care, using my many years’ experience in the home design field and my commitment for quality.

I chose textiles, lightings, furniture and accessories created to stand the test of time and changing trends.  I bought each piece not as a procurement manager but as if they were for my own house…I truly hope you will enjoy my choices.
