At once a classicist and a modernist, John Barman is known for his clear-cut, sophisticated style, bold new ideas, and strong point of view. He favors handsome, crisp lines; the unrestrained use of strong, resonant color; new uses for traditional materials; and the successful marriage of functionality and fine detailing. He also has an ability to hone this aesthetic into neutrals and inject contemporary glamour into traditional spaces. His work typically features distinctive focal points, such as colorful art glass, mid-century vintage furniture and modern art pieces. Very much a collaborator, he enjoys working with clients who are engaged in the design process, leading to a finished result that is both sophisticated and highly personal. Every project is unique and individual.
