Interior design studio Roman and Williams wholeheartedly embraces the aesthetic wonder of cabinets of curiosities, as the firm curates a breathtaking display inside its New York showroom.
From intricate bronze bird sculptures to botanical models from the 18th century, the arrangements are tasteful and interesting. Roman and Williams embarks on this project to celebrate the debut of Farrow & Ball's new collection. Moreover, the artifacts that adorn the shelves of the furniture are dipped in paint -- an act intended to tie them to the color palette of Farrow & Ball's latest paint range.
The project is completed in collaboration with London's Natural History Museum and there are a total of three wooden cabinets of curiosities for guests to admire.
