S.B. Long Interiors

La Dolce Vita translates to “the sweet life”. In Italy, that’s simply how life is lived. Beauty and function are not competing values. Everyday objects can be well made and beautiful. That sensibility is what I am reminded of when I think of time spent on the Italian coast and it shapes how I consider design on every project.

During a recent trip to Paris, I saw the major retrospective of works by Gerhard Richter at the Louis Vuitton Fondation. I have admired his work for years, but I didn’t realize the versatility of his body of work. The most recent iconic squeegee paintings, black-and-white portraits, blurred landscapes, sculptural work, and more — he has had the good fortune as an artist to experiment with many styles and mediums. It was illuminating to see the collection in a single space. Unforgettable.
