an evening with Johnathan Adler’s Benjamin Brougham

Earlier this month I found myself soaking up a striking interior located in Sydney’s Darlinghusrt, designed by Benjamin Brougham, Head of Interior Design at Jonathan Adler. Coco Republic hosted the chic evening “Cocktails and Conversation with Benjamin Brougham”, and the apartment was filled with inspirational conversation and guests.

The apartment and Benjamin were both on point, full of personality, layers and bold pattern. Ben opened by sharing the Jonathan Adler Manifesto which I adored, so in the spirit of paying it forward I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

WE BELIEVE in the innate chicness of red with brown.

WE BELIEVE in being underdressed or overdressed always.
