Summary

We are so thrilled to welcome award-winning design duo Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson of the design firm Drake/Anderson. Their iconic work has been featured in several issues of Shelter, on the AD100 List, ELLE DECOR’s A-List, and they’ve also received the highest awards and accolades in the industry. They are known for luxurious and sophisticated residential and commercial spaces that are fearless and bold. Their new book Bold: The Interiors of Drake/Anderson is available for pre-order now. We discuss that book and their best tips for how to design fearlessly. What You’ll Hear on This Episode: How did they get started on the book and chose their projects? The common thread throughout their book is that the contemporary work is informed by history and their traditional work also includes modern elements. What is the thought process while blending the bold elements? Where does the fearlessness come from? How can others become more fearless? Do they tend to influence their clients to be bolder or are bold clients drawn to Drake/Anderson? How do you balance the room’s strength? To achieve boldness, it’s important to be intentional with your choices. With several statement pieces, how can you find balance? Creating a visual with a board, PowerPoint, etc., can help tremendously in the planning process. Often the element of surprise is what can make a space the most interesting. What are Jamie and Caleb’s favorite projects from the book and why? Why can unexpected colors work so well if used right? More about the historic preservation project in London.
