Global Views celebrates Julia’s new collection that is a curated assemblage of vintage and new, of rare and refined, in a design style she calls “Modernique.” Julia’s eclectic aesthetic draws from her love of modern and antique in equal measure, and is now translated into an approachable and spirited collection of furniture accents, lighting, rugs, pillows, tabletop decor and decorative accessories.
Interesting textures and materials, such as refined glass and elegant white marble, rest near hand carved wood and lively tiled surfaces. A confident use of color, and textiles with whimsical yet sophisticated pattern are other “sure signatures” of the new collection. The collection’s unexpected pairings not only reflect Julia’s timeless trademark, but also are what give her environments their unique and meaningful panache.
