Last week I had the pleasure of listening to the beautiful, talented, incredibly well spoken.. and humorous I might add, India Hicks at the Design Exchange. Her talk focused on her father, the legendary interior decorator David Hicks. Hicks was especially known for his use of bold, dramatic colour along with his knack for mixing antique and contemporary furniture. The highlight of his career was in the 60′s and 70′s but so much of his work was timeless and one of the reasons it’s remains relevant today. Take a look at some of his interiors below. Besides from mixing elegant, classic architecture with modern pieces, what I love about his work the most is his true appreciation for for scale.

And here Spardha and I are with India herself!
