Celebrities couldn’t settle just being stylish, gorgeous and wealthy; some of them have ventured their flair into the design too, ready to offer their creative services and expertise to create your ideal home.
Good design is considered to be a fusion of styles and functions and the challenge is not just to create something aesthetic, but something that combines form and function in a unique fashion. Since in today’s date, people are increasingly developing a taste in designing the interiors of their space (home, office, hotels), done up in professional designs and trends, the ‘ready to grab’ combinations are no longer attractive. Neither is it a contractor’s job anymore relevant because luxury and exclusivity have become the topmost priority for people.
One is heading out for the specialists in designing and what better than these celebrities and their team working for your dream residence with their global knowledge, contemporary styles and all the while adding a touch of their signature interpretations. And if not the entire designing, you could always pick some bits from your favourite celeb’s collection and flaunt in your hall.
Brad Pitt
Is it possible for Brad Pitt to be dreamier than he already is? Hold tight because this mega-star debuted a collection designed by himself and made by high-end furniture house Pollaro in 2012. It’s impressive and consists of future-thinking contemporary shapes and deconstructed concepts that are still very functional. You can own a piece of the collection for a price on application from Pitt-Pollaro. After Brad Pitt ordered a desk from Pollaro Custom Furniture, he realised his passion for design was similar to the company’s owner Frank Pollaro. This was confirmed when Pollaro noted a design sketchbook chock-full of hundreds of sketches Brad had created over a decade. They partnered to bring those designs to life and now you can bring some of them home, all for a good price, of course.
