Interior designer Ernesto Gloria has mastered the art of high-low mixing. A devoted antique hunter, he possesses an almo2st instinctive eye for pairing a costly vintage lamp or heirloom chair with an IKEA sofa or CB2 table—thrifted artwork included. Shelving sourced from warehouse supply stores sits alongside fabrics from storied textile studios like Schumacher and Zak + Fox. These unexpected pairings lend every project an effortless sense of having been curated over years rather than styled in a single pass.
