Bryan O'Sullivan: A New Glamour

Old-school Hollywood glamour with a contemporary touch is the hallmark of interior designer Bryan O Sullivan s repertoire, on full display in his commissions for the Red Room at the Connaught Hotel, the much-admired Berkeley Bar & Terrace, and the art deco Painter s Room at Claridges, all some of London s most fabulous and plush spaces. With expertise in both architecture and interiors, O Sullivan s broader vision is reflected as well in selected residential projects, which range from a family house for a prominent restaurateur, a Fifth Avenue apartment in New York, and a historic early 1900s hotel particulier in Paris s 16th arrondissement. O Sullivan mines history for inspiration, resulting in a look that could be described as pared-back luxe.

The key is in the mix, blending classical proportions with contemporary elements, re-covering vintage or antique furniture in modern fabrics, creating warmth and intimacy within generous spaces, and always achieving very chic, stylishly comfortable, livable spaces.
