Things I did as a young architect that now make me cringe:
① Treating furniture an afterthought.
I used to think furniture came after the architecture. Design the house first, fill it later.
It wasn't part of the design. It wasn't even part of the conversation.
My brother changed that.
Now we go to Salon del Mobile Milano every other year.
Every project, no matter the scope, has the right pieces designed in from the start.
② Thinking lighting was just about making a room bright.
That one took working with interior designers to truly understand.
The light you cook under is not the light you watch a movie in.
Every moment deserves its own atmosphere, which means every space deserves layers of lighting.
Style takes time. Taste takes longer.
