Frank de Biasi Interiors: A Talent of Global Proportions
Frank De Biasi isn’t just a designer, artist, or creator. He’s a master at his craft in every conceivable way.His resume includes working for Christie’s New York, serving 12 years as Director of Interiors for the world-renowned Peter Marino, and now owning his own Interior Design firm, Frank de Biasi Interiors. With over 20 years of experience, his works can be traced across the world from the Middle East, Europe, and China. His designs have been featured in publications such as Vogue, Architectural Digest Italy, New York Magazine, and even Home Decorating China.
During his time with Christies New York, Frank forged a deep appreciation for fine art, antiques, and the history of design, saying, “I am inspired by culture – everything from travel to fashion to history.”
This has lead to an aesthetic that defies description, simply because it encompasses so many things at once. He tells us it’s a mixture of “old with new, entertaining, living with art, and focusing on the finer details of design, like a great rung that compliments an amazing painting or sculpture.”
He has seemingly designed everything, from a Moroccan retreat, to a chic Manhattan Penthouse, with each project crafted carefully and uniquely styled.
Mr. de Biasi even had some advice for us Maniacs who are doing some home renovation. The moral of the story: pay attention to what you’re working with and highlight what you have! “When renovating a home, it is important to pay attention to the architectural detail and millwork,” he explained. “By focusing and refreshing some of the homes existing architectural details, the entire look and feel can be brighter and fresher and these details really pay off.”
His designs feature a creative juxtaposition between the rich and eclectic, the sophisticated and whimsical, and the Elizabethan and modern. In doing so, he creates a look that hasn’t been seen before. But his look doesn’t mean that if you want to emulate his style you have to spend a fortune, “The key is to keep the focus on the items that are timeless that you love and change the less expensive items when you feel the need to update.”
Classical and cutting-edge celebrate a beautiful marriage in Frank’s world of design. A world that we should all be fortunate to be a part of.
