We know you so well as a designer, it’s really cool for us to see you through a different lens. It happens to be the only Oscar Niemeyer home built in North America and also happens to be the place Michael and his family called home for the better part of 20 years. We feel this house speaks most holistically to his aesthetic. Beyond this, we’ve chosen to include photographs here of a space of his that we love. Each features a painting of his, the likes of which we are fortunate enough to represent in our shop. Of course, the album artwork for “Music for Modern Rooms” would not be left untouched by Michael’s creative hands. A transcription of our chat with Michael captures the story behind these and how they act ultimately as his love letter to creativity in all forms. While variant in style, the tracks trend toward the ambient realm, oscillating between something out of Brian Eno’s world and something much funkier and more eclectic. He calls this four-part collection “ Music for Modern Rooms”. Michael - collector, designer, curator, painter, and musician - has been steadily realizing a 35-year effort to form a soundscape library inspired by the buildings he has studied and the things that fill them. But our conversation on this particular occasion veered toward something we havent ever formalized with our words: the connection between music and spatial design. We collaborate with Michael in myriad ways, our studios function as extensions of each other. On a recent Friday morning, we sat down with our dear friend and collaborator, Michael Boyd.
