The intricate interplay of cultural influences and distinctive aesthetic elements creates a frisson worthy of a modern master. Celeste Dell’Anna’s contemporary interiors are designed to be as evanescent and fluid as time itself, and on attaining that magical quality they are rendered timeless.
An inanimate interior can possess what amounts to human confidence. It can be aristocratic and sober, inspiring absolute security, without the slightest suggestion of haughtiness or ostentation, and yet remain all the while a creature of extreme and unsurpassable luxury.
How is a design project conceived? What is its ideal period of gestation? When does it really come to fruition? Working sketches by Celeste Dell’Anna lift the veil of mystery that hangs over the question of creativity in interior design, as it invariably does in all the arts.
