Today’s post features the work of one of my favorite designers, Australia’s David Hicks. While I do have a penchant for the “dark and sexy,” this apartment proves that bright, serene spaces can be just as glamorous. With his use of a lighter palette and shimmering surfaces, Hicks gives iconic, mid-century pieces luxurious new life.

"I love modernist design from the 50’s - How pared back minimalist spaces were overlaid with Persian rugs, knoll furniture, antiques and chandeliers. Very glamorous." - David Hicks
