"We have worked with Stephen Sills for four projects and consider him a close friend; this one was one of our early introductions to his work. One of Stephen's great skills, shown so masterfully in this apartment, is his command of a neoclassical aesthetic in a way that is totally modern and fresh. He mixes art, furniture, and objects from disparate genres in a way that is completely harmonious. His eclecticism is serene, never brash."
"Our neighbor in Litchfield county, Daniel Romualdez, has a garden that is my dream inspiration for rural Connecticut landscaping. I'm a big fan of Daniel's work ( Tory Burch's Hamptons home is a standout), and this landscape, done with the incredible Miranda Brooks, seamlessly blends the wild with the manicured. It's a fine line to walk in upstate Connecticut-avoiding things looking too "done." By focusing on layers of greenery rather than formal floral gardens, Daniel and Miranda set the bar very high."
"I'm so grateful to AD for this shoot of our last home; it serves as a great memory of the many happy years we had there. I love how colorful this apartment was-the walls were painted a rich pink, and the fireplace was tiled in a vibrant green. A vivid yellow bench sat next to an emerald green goatskin table. A stroke of genius from Stephen was displaying the Meissen collection in the den, on a wall papered in a bold damask print."
Stephen Sills applies a neoclassical aesthetic with a modern sensibility, uniting disparate art, furniture, and objects into serene, harmonious interiors. Eclectic pairings function cohesively rather than clash. A Litchfield County landscape blends wild and manicured elements, emphasizing layered greenery over formal floral displays to achieve a natural but refined appearance. A colorful apartment combined rich pink walls, a vibrant green tiled fireplace, a vivid yellow bench, and an emerald goatskin table to create bold contrasts. A Meissen collection displayed on bold damask wallpaper converses with Brazilian midcentury chairs, bridging centuries and continents.
