TIMOTHY BROWN,
founder/principal at Timothy Brown studio
“While I’m new to Jackson Hole, I’m used to working in locations with a strong sense of place,” he says. “Although the environment that the design responds to here is different, my experience working with clients to create edited, warm spaces translates. I hope to bring a fresh perspective.”
Here Timothy, whose work was featured in the book Interior Design Master Class: 100 Lessons from America’s Finest Designers on the Art of Decoration, shares some of the things that inspire his work.
Location
Whether the mountains, beach, or city, location plays a huge role in several things—the way a house is used, views, light, fabrics, colors, and accents. In a home five minutes from the beach, I used a Lindsey Adelman knotty bubbles pendant above a sitting area. Its translucent glass and rope recall both buoys and barnacles. It’s a nod to the area where the house is located.
Collected Details
I’m such a visual person and am constantly looking and seeing, in everyday life and when I travel. I don’t know that I’ve ever been out and not found something that inspires me. I catalog everything—a color combination I see in a painting in a museum, the shape of a sand dune or the architecture of a tree, a mosaic in a door. I collect details that might not mean anything in the moment I see them in a painting but mean something later. I never know what is going to strike me as something that will work, so I’m just constantly paying attention. Shown above is a mid-century yellow lamp hanging over an antique French desk. The big doors on the back wall are a modern version of millwork I saw on a visit to Versailles.
Clients
My projects are as different as my clients. When collaborating with clients, I’m continually inspired. I was once asked to make a traditional Park Avenue duplex into a loft someone might find in SoHo. I’ve taken details visually collected on my travels and incorporated them into a townhouse, mixing traditional ideas with modern living. I’m always thinking of how I can use what I’ve seen and experienced to create a beautiful visual story and a better day-to-day routine for clients in their home.
