Art as anchor
Every project begins with a single piece — a painting, a textile, a chair — and we design outward from it. The art gives the room its gravity; the room is built to hold it properly.
From a borrowed toolbox and one antique table, a studio took root.
"I never wanted a studio that imposed a look. I wanted one that listened — to a home, to a memory, to the way light falls at four in the afternoon."
Interior Gallery began in 2009 in a converted print shop on a quiet side street, the way most honest things begin — quietly, and with a single piece of furniture that needed somewhere to belong. Anouk Versteeg, then a junior set designer for film, restored an oak refectory table for a friend, then a sideboard for another, and before long the friends-of-friends became clients, and the clients became collaborators.
Fifteen years on, the atelier has grown to a team of nine — interior designers, textile artists, a lighting consultant, and a furniture maker who keeps the studio's small workshop running in the back. We remain intentionally small, taking on no more than fourteen projects a year. That choice is the point: it is how we are able to design at the pace of attention.
