Relaxed luxury is the difference between existing and living. —Chad Dorsey
Talented designer Chad Dorsey transforms a forgotten craft room into an intimate, sophisticated escape. He pairs brass elements, patterned upholstery, and a crystal chandelier from a Parisian hotel with bold, hyper-saturated lacquer walls. The result is a stylish, inviting space that feels luxurious and laidback, perfect for quiet, late-night evenings at home. This design perfectly exemplifies Dorsey’s approach to creating functional spaces that balance elegance with comfort, turning any room into a relaxing retreat. His designs and ethos are detailed in the gorgeous new tome Relaxed Luxury, published by Assouline.
