Design Concept and Inspiration

The inspiration behind this project stemmed from understanding the clients’ lifestyle, personality, and design preferences. Suki Shocker explains:

“Every project starts with a design consultation. I take the time to understand my clients’ passions, lifestyle, and requirements to ensure the interior reflects their unique style. For this project, my client wanted a dark, luxurious interior with hints of brass and bronze details.”

Textures, wallcoverings, laminates, and fabrics were meticulously selected to complement the Castro Lighting pieces, providing both visual interest and refined elegance.

Why Castro Lighting?

Choosing the right lighting was essential to bring the luxurious vision to life. Suki notes:

“I opted for Castro Lighting not only for their design-led, high-quality products but also for the flexibility in finishes. The Gio Pendant remained part of the original concept, while the Metis Suspension replaced the initially planned Arcade Suspension due to ceiling adjustments.”

The Gio Pendant and Metis Suspension together elevate the interior, casting a warm, sophisticated glow across the home bar and living area.
