WHO: Gil Melott started Studio 6F, now Gil Melott Studio, after a 20-year career in advertising. His interior design practice has since expanded to include bespoke furniture and lighting as well as a gallery.
WHAT: Scroll to peek behind the scenes of his Wicker Park, Chicago, gallery—a spot to meet with potential clients, to sell art and antiques, and to showcase his own lines. It gives customers a chance to experience a vignette and picture themselves living in a space he has designed.
WHY: Melott started his furniture and lighting line, Gil Melott Bespoke, because he was looking for specific items and couldn’t find them. His pieces not only worked for his clients, but they also became the answer for many other designers and homeowners.
IN HIS WORDS: “Instagram is a vehicle to share your point of view. And it’s where I’ve been lucky enough to meet a lot of the artists whose work we sell in the gallery.”
