How to integrate a vintage collector's piece into a contemporary interior to enhance a minimalist and organic atmosphere?
In the sphere of high-end interior design, Athena Calderone stands as a beacon of discerning taste. In February 2020, the pages of Architectural Digest opened the doors to her private haven in Amagansett, located at the tip of the Hamptons. This mid-century modern jewel, renovated in collaboration with architect Paul Masi, represents a masterclass in balance and light.
Calderone’s vision for her Barnes Landing home was one of seamless continuity. She sought an environment that felt timeless, effortless, and profoundly beautiful. This once-dilapidated structure was reimagined into a luminous sanctuary where natural materials like rattan, bamboo, and linen coexist in quiet harmony. It is within this quest for balance that the Norki Style naturally finds its place.
It is within the grand living room—a space designed for contemplation—that the designer chose to place a vintage Scandinavian armchair from the Norki curation. This rare find acts as a sculptural counterpoint to a Mario Bellini sofa for B&B Italia, proving that true luxury lies in the intelligent juxtaposition of iconic forms.
As a Maison d'Artisans distinguished by the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label, Norki prides itself on the rarity of its savoir-faire. Our workshops specialized in couture and upholstery don't just restore furniture; they reinterpret history. Each piece from our mid-century Scandinavian collection is meticulously renovated to meet the standards of the most educated global clientele, whether they visit us in Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris or our alpine retreats in Gstaad.
The "Norki Style" is defined by this sensitivity to material and form. Our internal design studio and upholstery workshop ensure that every creation—from custom headboards to restored seating—possesses an unmistakable signature. In the Hamptons, as in the Alps, our work infuses character without excess.
Beyond individual pieces, Norki operates as a comprehensive interior design house. Through our Studio Chalet division, we orchestrate world-class projects that transform space into emotion, whether in a prestigious alpine retreat or a coastal renovation in Amagansett. The standard remains the same: to turn an object into a sculpture. Furniture is no longer merely functional; it becomes a presence, an identity.
We invite you to explore our exclusive curation in our Megève or Paris boutiques, where the art of living is celebrated through artisanal excellence and a profound respect for design history. The choice of Athena Calderone for a Norki piece highlights our capacity to support the most ambitious projects, bringing that touch of rarity and artisanal mastery that define true contemporary luxury.
