Warm Modernism by Velvet Hammerschmidt Design

Velvet Hammerschmidt Design is a Santa Monica, California based interior design firm. Their work incorporates many styles but is characterized by clean lines, warmth and sophistication.
Creating a warm inviting home in a space that feels architectural, yet cold was the challenge for V-H Design. The homeowners, a producer and fine art collection manager were interested in incorporating artistic, unique, interesting and comfortable furnishings and finishes. The homeowners were looking for authentic original design with an eye towards detail and quality.

Hammerschmidt elected to use a neutral palate to highlight the owner’s photography collection. Particular attention was paid to properly lighting the photographs. The furniture selections included fabulous classics such as the Platner Chair and Side Table, Saarienen’s Womb Chair and Ottoman, the Eames Lounge and Saarienen Side Table and Wegner Wing Chair along with the Hella Jongerius Polder Sofa designed in 2005.

The rich wood floor, neutral rug with a subtle pattern and the Platner Chair with a punch of color combine to support the art collection in a very accessible manner. The result is a warm, personal connection with the art. For more on this project, please visit Velvet Hammerschmidt Design.
