Sasha Bikoff - “If You Can’t Find It, Create It”
<p>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.</p><br><p>Follow our host: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alexandrafairweather/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/alexandrafairweather/</a> </p><p>Follow our guest: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sashabikoff/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/sashabikoff/</a> </p><p>Sasha’s book: <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/784194/high-vibe-design-by-sasha-bikoff/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/784194/high-vibe-design-by-sasha-bikoff/</a> </p><br><p>Stay up-to-date with the John Chamberlain Estate:</p><ul><li>Follow: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/johnchamberlainestate/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/johnchamberlainestate/</a> </li><li>To learn more about the estate’s work and mission, visit: <a href="https://www.john-chamberlain.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.john-chamberlain.com/</a> </li><li>Media inquiries: chamberlain@dadagoldberg.com</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Tune in to episodes of ON THE COUCH via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, YouTube, or wherever you prefer to stream.</p><p>---------------</p><p>Timestamps: </p><p>Timestamps: </p><p>00:26 Introductions</p><p>01:24 How Sasha got into interior design </p><p>03:41 Sasha’s first client: her mom </p><p>06:45 Discovering a client’s tastes</p><p>08:05 Decorating within a budget </p><p>10:23 How to make color work for you </p><p>12:38 Gardening and nature as inspiration </p><p>13:55 The role of an interior designer in a project </p><p>14:51 Sasha’s favorite designers in history</p><p>18:11 How to find furniture that feels like an art piece</p><p>21:22 Sasha’s experience in product design </p><p>23:37 How formal education influences art </p><p>26:19 Sasha teases her upcoming book </p><p>27:07 Lightning round begins </p><p>29:32 Outro</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
