I have an announcement to make: The days of the matching furniture set are gone. 
Forever. 
Six feet under. 
Never to return. 
We have come so far from our 1950’s model of interior design, haven’t we? Back then, it was desirable to have a home that looked just like your neighbour’s. I suppose in the post-war era we needed safe and predictable. Control and cookie-cutter-sameness were de rigeur. 
I think we have shed a lot of fear since then. We’ve come through so much – triumph and tragedy – and in the process we’ve learned that our stories are what shape us. Real life is colourful, full of whimsy and embrace, and brimming with the unexpected, and we want to see that reflected in our homes. Interior design is no longer about predictability or “fitting in,” but about what is bespoke, custom and a true personal expression of who we are.

Enter Luna Bella, a Nouveau Chic home furnishings design studio based just outside of Miami, Florida. With an aesthetic that truly defies category, they embody a luxurious modern eclecticism that ranges from the decadently chic to the industrial and even the classical. As I was drawn into their moody and beautifully curated booth, I felt as though I might just be walking into Johnny Depp’s lounge. Each vignette offered a compelling story, carefully composed with their exquisitely unique pieces.

Their dramatic light fixtures were definitely one of the showstoppers for me. Difficult to capture when traveling with only a 50mm lens, these fixtures are true statement pieces and often spectacularly long. I loved seeing them suspended over coffee tables to anchor a conversation area and dropped over dining tables to create sparkle and glamour. I would love to install one in a soaring two story stairwell and will be keeping my eye out for a project in need of some decadent and dramatic flair.

No detail has been left untouched with the Luna Bella collection. Artists and founders Nicolas Trujillo and Teresa Costa bring a distinctly unexpected and sophisticated aesthetic to their collection with their innovative use of materials, proportions, colours and textures.
