DOUBLE TAKE

Part getaway, part meeting space, this Chelsea apartment by Hubert Zanberg Interiors hits every note for an out-of-town client

anyone who knows interior designer Hubert Zanberg would also know that he is no stranger to eclecticism. Walk through any of his projects, and his signature style is quite evident: a clever use of colour, an amalgamation of styles, and a careful curation of art and objects from every decade. This was just the case for a recent renovation and interior design project led by Hubert Zanberg Interiors – HZI – on a two-bedroom apartment in Chelsea, West London. The out-of-town client was seeking a soft landing that could serve as a resting and meeting space for his short trips to the borough. With a maximalist design approach, and with equal amounts of comfort and practicality in mind, Hubert and his team created a space that offered the client a playful take on a gentleman’s club.
