“How can I give new life to the past?” It’s a question Sebastian Zuchowicki asks often. Immersing himself in bygone chapters of the decorative arts, this tireless talent does his homework, studying the likes of Jean-Michel Frank, Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann, and Paul Dupré Lafon to reinvent Art Deco traditions for the present moment. But Zuchowicki (pictured at home) also references his own history, be it his Miami childhood, his Argentinean family, or his formative stints under AD100 titans Andre Mellone and Bill Sofield. Mix it all together and you’ve got rooms brimming with nuance, knowingness, and natural beauty. As for the future, Zuchowicki is now at work on jobs throughout Manhattan, including an apartment at 432 Park Avenue, “my first project with white walls.” And he looks forward to new career milestones, among them his first town house and his first Hamptons home, both opportunities “to get loud and have some fun.” sebastianzuchowicki.com
