Return to Classical

Comfort and Class

By combining antiques and new pieces, minimalism and ornamentation, the return to classical aesthetics offers an updated take on traditional design. Architectural details like arches and columns are making their way in more modern homes, but with a pared back, simplified style. A restrained use of furniture emphasizes quality over quantity and amplifies the sense of space.

Return to Classical in the Kitchen


A certain well-known denim brand coined the phrase, “Quality never goes out of style,” and that sentiment has never been more true than in a Return to Classical kitchen. Luxury materials like marble with prominent veining pair elegantly with classic architectural details like ceiling molding and fluted carpentry to create a sophisticated, clean, and functional gathering space.
