Sasha Bikoff - “If You Can’t Find It, Create It”

Sasha Bikoff’s rooms don't just look extraordinary — they make you feel as if you've stepped out into a dream. What most people don't know about Sasha is that before she ever touched a floor plan, she was working the desk at Gagosian Gallery — one of the most competitive rooms in the art world. That training in how serious collectors see art and experience space is felt throughout all of the interiors she creates. She studied fine art and art history in Washington and Paris, and her projects now span Milan, Marrakech, Palm Beach, and her beloved New York. In this episode, she joins host Alexndra Fairweather on one of John Chamberlain's couches for a conversation that feels exactly like one of her rooms: one you won't want to leave.Follow our host: https://www.instagram.com/alexandrafairweather/ Follow our guest: https://www.instagram.com/sashabikoff/ Sasha’s book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/784194/high-vibe-design-by-sasha-bikoff/ Stay up-to-date with the John Chamberlain Estate:Follow: https://www.instagram.com/johnchamberlainestate/ To learn more about the estate’s work and mission, visit: https://www.john-chamberlain.com/ Media inquiries: chamberlain@dadagoldberg.comTune in to episodes of ON THE COUCH via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, YouTube, or wherever you prefer to stream.---------------Timestamps: Timestamps: 00:26 Introductions01:24 How Sasha got into interior design 03:41 Sasha’s first client: her mom 06:45 Discovering a client’s tastes08:05 Decorating within a budget 10:23 How to make color work for you 12:38 Gardening and nature as inspiration 13:55 The role of an interior designer in a project 14:51 Sasha’s favorite designers in history18:11 How to find furniture that feels like an art piece21:22 Sasha’s experience in product design 23:37 How formal education influences art 26:19 Sasha teases her upcoming book 27:07 Lightning round begins 29:32 Outro Hosted on Acast.
