Owned and run by Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen, Paolo Moschino Ltd. is an award-winning design studio specialising in exceptional residential, commercial, and hospitality interiors projects around the world.
Starting out as a business partner to his good friend and fellow interior designer, Nicholas Haslam, in the 1990s, Paolo's keen interest in antiques was evident from the early days. Sourcing pieces from around the world, this ‘well-travelled’ aesthetic, mixing antiques and art in a fresh and modern way, has become his modus operandi. Now, together with Philip, he derives inspiration from every conceivable source, creatively translating their discoveries into unique interiors for their clients.
We are very grateful to the Paolo Moschino team for lending some of their fabric samples to photograph the selection of twenty-two lots.
Sold for £750
