LUXURY LIFESTYLE
Steven Spielberg
Tomer Ben, CEO & Founder of Solomon Mines with Nancy Spielberg
ANNETTE FROMMER: I have been an interior designer for 28 years. As a young girl growing up in Belgium I was attracted to understated European elegance and beauty. It is for this reason that I chose this profession. I believed that I had the ability to offer a
sophisticated design aesthetic that does not feel forced or artificial and I like to think that I have been successful in providing my clients with comfortable living that is beautiful and feels natural, genuine and effortless.
How many projects do you work on each year?
AF: There are many factors that influence the length of a project life cycle and my projects usually run a cycle of two to three years. However, once in a while, I like to take on a project that is a race in time, whose date for completion is ‘against all odds’. I like the stressful, exciting challenges of a project that literally takes my breath away, as if I am running a marathon. In this type of project, I am usually given a ‘carte blanche’ that is always flattering. It is also liberating as I have complete freedom to handle the projects as I see
fit - the decision-making process is much quicker. I am currently working on few penthouses and garden apartments and in 2019 I will be working with three developers on high-end projects where I am in charge of curating the model apartments.
AF: It varies between different people and different families. Yet what all have in common nowadays are busy and hectic daily lives with noise all around. I wish to provide a safe haven for my clients, an escape from the chaos of daily living, an ‘ambience’ that’s serene and safe. To me this is the feeling that a ‘home’ should provide. I want my clients to walk in with their suitcases and immediately feel at ease, at peace, tranquil and that they belong.
