“When I’m sourcing vintage art for Alvar or selecting for my own space, I have a fairly wide range of taste – I’m as attracted to bold graphics and interesting typefaces as I am simple abstractions, soft earthy tones and organic forms. But broadly speaking, when I have the luxury of putting form before function I love to relinquish a bit of control and go with a gut response. That said, I find that the broader the range of artists' work and perspectives I'm fortunate enough to be exposed to over time the more interesting that gut response becomes.”
