PORTFOLIO

Contemporary Chestnut Hill Home

This Contemporary Chestnut Hill home brings together a vibrant collection shaped by bold color, graphic form, and a refined sense of balance. Works by Maura Segal, James Early, Alex Katz, Betty Merken, Donald Sultan, and Manolo Valdés introduce a dynamic mix of abstraction, portraiture, and sculptural presence throughout the interiors. As part of our art consulting work, each piece was considered in relation to the architecture, furnishings, and the client’s personal point of view. The result is a collection that feels confident and cohesive, adding energy and character while remaining closely connected to the way the home is lived in.

There are white and light gray furniture pieces, including sofas and chairs, and a coffee table with books and decorative objects. A black fireplace with a mantel is visible, along with a wall mirror and a bookshelf. A ceiling light fixture with intersecting beige rods extends across the ceiling.
