Maximalism knows no boundaries ! Maximalism is back, and it’s bolder than ever. Picture rooms brimming with character, where every wall and tabletop tells a layered story. This exuberant style hearkens back to the Victorian era, famed for its love of displaying collectibles. Think vibrant folk art, striking hand-blown Venetian glass, intricate Delft-style ceramic tiles, charming handmade vases, and richly textured quilts—each piece bursting with personality. The daring spirit of maximalism shines in unexpected details, like pairing an antique painting with a sleek modern frame or enhancing contemporary art with a vintage border. These touches embrace the thrill of contrast and surprise. Collectors revel in the hunt for rarity and history, curating spaces that are as intriguing as they are unique. Even Victorian staples like settees and chaise lounges are staging a grand return. Biedermeier furniture, with its clean lines and light natural wood grain, effortlessly bridges farmhouse charm and regal sophistication, proving that maximalism knows no boundaries. #maximalism #luxedesignassociates

Here’s some thoughts: The Art of Marble with Dull Golden Accents: A Look Back at Timeless Elegance In artistry, each piece tells a story, and this one holds a special place in my journey as an artist. A year ago, I completed a project using marble with dull golden accents, merging classic elements with a subtle touch of modern luxury. The marble’s natural elegance combined with dull golden highlights created a work that remains close to my heart. This project allowed me to explore the understated beauty that golden accents can bring to the marble’s textured surface. The GP resin used not only enhanced the durability of the piece but also preserved the essence of timeless sophistication. The materials are silent storytellers, carrying with them the depth of the artistry. Looking back, this creation represents my ongoing commitment to blending tradition with contemporary artistry. It’s a reminder of how small details can elevate a material without overwhelming it, and how art is about finding balance and letting the material speak for itself. #ThrowbackArt #MarbleCraft #GoldenAccents #ArtisticJourney #TimelessDesign

A diamond’s sparkle is iconic. Diamonds are synonymous with their ability to sparkle and this is the direct result of the intricate cut that form a diamond’s shape and exquisitely refract light throughout the stone — these are known as facets. A diamond facet is often described as a window into the diamond. Facets are the flat surfaces cut onto a gemstone and arranged in a geometrical pattern. When light enters the diamond, it refracts off of the intricately placed facets causing the iconic diamond sparkle. A diamond cutter seeks to angle and arrange the facets in the most advantageous way to ensure the right amount of light enters and reflects from the diamond. A faceted gemstone consists of three main parts where faceting occurs: the crown on the top of the stone, the girdle in the middle that is the seat of the setting, and the pavilion at the bottom which has the culet (Ken and Dana Design). #diamonds #jewelry #gemstones Video source: Jean Dousset - ‘Elle’ Diamond Ring
