What drives your designs? Travel expands our experiences, broadens our horizons and brings a transformative quality to our projects. Recent influences include the vibrant colors of Mexico, the history and decorative arts in Paris, and the unexpected ways buildings blend with South Africa’s natural surroundings. We’re deeply moved by nature and organic materials. Because our style is bold, bringing in those features helps to soften our designs.
Any upcoming news? We’re gearing up for several exciting collaborations, including a collection with Ruggable. New products for CB2 are also in the works.
Anna-Wooten Loggins Has An Eye For Modern Design
Through Anna-Wooten Loggins’ eponymous firm, A.Wooten Interiors, this LUXE Next In Design 99 talent is known for fusing modern elements with classical roots. Here, she shares more.
Where do you find inspiration? It all began with my grandmothers. My mom’s mom kept a traditional home replete with antiques and traditional textiles (chintz, silks). My paternal grandmother, on the other hand, had an eye for more modern touches and global influences.
What’s on the horizon? My five-year plan includes publishing a coffee table book with my sister; it will combine interiors with recipes—reflective of our shared Southern upbringing.
