The Curated World of Design
This month’s theme ‘The Curated World of Design’, explores the vital role collectibles play in shaping our interiors. From sharing our expert perspective on gallery-level works to how we curate meaningful collections for our clients.
WORKING WITH OUR CLIENTS’ COLLECTIONS
Our clients’ collections are often shaped around a style, artist, or period that resonates with them, each piece chosen tells their story. By understanding the provenance behind each work, we are able to guide them thoughtfully in expanding these collections. For some clients, there may have been a moment that sparked a lifelong interest in a particular movement or artist, while others continue to build on a legacy collection inherited from family. Whatever the story, we work closely with the client and trusted experts to ensure their treasured pieces are seamlessly woven into our design of their home.
MARRYING COLLECTIONS WITH ARCHITECTURE
Many of the homes we work with are legacy residences, which boast incredible period features. Whether vast ceiling heights, ornate fireplaces, generous room proportions, or intricate detailing, all these architectural elements are considered when pairing with artworks or gallery-level pieces.
Curated in parallel with our design narrative, we treat these features as a canvas upon which to layer art. It could be as dramatic as positioning a statement sculpture within a double-height entrance hall or as subtle as selecting a piece that echoes the intricacies of a carved fireplace. We find works that respond directly to the scale, tone, and materiality of the design and architecture, creating harmony between the building and the collection.
REFLECTING CLIENTS’ INVESTMENTS OF PASSION
From haute couture to travel, fine wines to craftsmanship, our clients’ passions shape our designs. For example, a client inspired by fashion may be drawn to pieces with sartorial detailing, while another with a love of contemporary culture may prefer bold, abstract works. It is vital for us to understand these interests, as well as their lifestyles, so that their homes feel relevant, personal, and unique.
INVESTING IN MASTERPIECES
Our role is to guide clients toward pieces they love, artworks that not only elevate their homes but also reflect their individuality and values. Beyond the aesthetic, we also look to curate works that stand the test of time, pieces that hold enduring artistic, emotional, and cultural significance. Each acquisition is approached with thought and care, ensuring that what is chosen today will continue to enrich the home and carry meaning for generations to come.
Super Prime agency has always been about exceptional levels of service but as the traditional high street model begins to change and the clients seek more from those they trust, we are seeing the rise of the super-broker. With this shift in mind, we are excited to speak with Trevor Kearney, who Forbes called the ‘Agent of our generation’, and who after twenty years in the industry has just launched The Private Office: Real Estate.

For many, the rise in prominence of English wines is a relatively recent thing as big international names look to invest in the UK market. It is fair to say that many of the UK’s most well-known producers have been at it for decades and it is not before time that those leading the charge are being recognised globally for the really excellent wines that they are producing. As we move towards the better weather, it felt like the perfect time to sit down with Gusbourne’s CEO, Jonathan White, to hear more about the exciting world of English wines.
