The Love is a collaboration between Starr Restaurants, Chef Aimee Olexy, and Roman and Williams: a trattoria-meets-brasserie in the heart of Rittenhouse Square, set for diners in search of a genuine farm-to-table experience in a space of humble elegance. Brick archways, cozy banquette pods, and a hand-tufted material richness give the intimate room its character.
I helped drive the design from concept through construction administration. As FF&E lead, I managed the entire furniture and materials program: all design documentation, every custom FF&E drawing, and the material palettes. Every piece of furniture in the project was either custom designed or vintage sourced, delivered on an aggressive schedule through daily coordination with all project teams.
