In The Press: Frank de Biasi & PAGODA RED in the WSJ

It’s always fun to spot a favorite piece from our gallery floor in print. In this case, interior designer Frank de Biasi used one of our antique lacquer cabinets to create a baroque, over-the-top “man cave” for The Wall Street Journal. Mr. de Biasi, who says he prefers his clients brave, pulled together exotic pieces to create a moody, luxurious space, inspired by Victor Hugo’s famed Guernsey study (aka The Red Room). We love the playful, more-is-more aesthetic here—not to mention de Biasi’s top-shelf design tips.

From The Wall Street Journal:

“A frequent, often-long-distance traveler, Mr. de Biasi is familiar with the global design market. His style ranges from the traditional to the contemporary— with an experimental edge—and his projects tend to be layered and rich, opulent but not off-puttingly so.”
