- Interior
At a point where art meets design, Polo and Onuska have created a journey that enchants the senses and stimulates the imagination. Step inside their gallery and you will find that the journey continues, with every step you take.
The first thing you notice is the majestic chandelier of bronze and glass, floating like a masterpiece of weightlessness above a dining table of recovered French oak. Organically shaped and hand-sanded and waxed, this table seems made for intimate conversations and refined dinners. It is just one example of Polo and Onuska's sensibility for balancing monumental scale with a sense of intimacy and comfort.
But the surprises don't stop at the chandelier and dining table. Behind inconspicuous doors lurks a secret library of chestnut wood, richly detailed and ready to be discovered. The hand-plastered walls lead seamlessly to a high vaulted fireplace, which radiates a warm glow and invites moments of rest and reflection. Polo and Onuska go beyond creating a gallery; they offer an experience that enriches the senses and nourishes the mind. By incorporating museum-sized works from their personal collection of contemporary art, they demonstrate their deep understanding of the relationship between art and design. Each piece is carefully chosen and placed to create a harmonious whole that brings the space to life.
But it's not just about what you see. The experience is further enhanced by the sensual and soothing playlist, curated by none other than DJ, music producer and songwriter Mia Moretti, in collaboration with Polo and Onuska. The music flows through the space, intertwined with the artworks and design, enhancing the aesthetic experience to a level of sublime perfection.
Integrating their personal collection with contemporary art, they demonstrate deep understanding with the relationship between art and design.
