Classic to Kari’s style, she artfully integrated the 1st Dibs chandelier to unify the room’s aesthetics. Kari scoured all throughout Europe for art pieces to embellish this project, and during her travels, she encountered the captivating ‘Dream Catcher Blue Class’ artwork from the Italian Art Collection Di Mucciolo. With a clear vision, Kari knew exactly where to place it – above her custom table in this very residence. She incorporated a custom hand blown glass table, made by a local LA Artist.
