This page Designer Kate Nixon in her freshly renovated CASA by Kate Nixon showroom in Rushcutters Bay, Sydney. This beautiful arch was one of the many surprises the 1800s building offered up as work on it progressed.
WHO OR WHAT HAVE BEEN YOUR ENDURING CREATIVE INFLUENCES?
I’m drawn to the scale and sensibility of American furnishings and interiors (cue Nancy Meyers) and the patina and craftsmanship of European design. I love the warm, inviting layers of US designers such as Thomas O’Brien, Nate Berkus, and Steven Gambrel, and the textural prowess and impeccable attention to detail of Atelier AM and Axel Vervoordt. IS THERE A COMMON ELEMENT, AESTHETIC, OR APPROACH THAT RUNS THROUGH YOUR WORK?
A calm, cohesive and transitional aesthetic underpins our work, adding character and warmth with understated elegance and quiet luxury. We love classic and comfortable, relaxed and inviting, polished and practical – spaces that are equally at ease with elegant entertaining and everyday life.
