“STARS AND MOONS IS A PRIVATE RESIDENCE IN LONDON FOR RINGO STARR, INSPIRED BY HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH KEITH MOON, HIS ENDURING ‘PEACE AND LOVE’ PHILOSOPHY AND HIS CONNECTION WITH THE LOTUS FLOWER THROUGH HIS FOUNDATION.

INTERIOR DESIGN, INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, PAINTING AND SCULPTURE BLEND TOGETHER TO CREATE A CONTEMPORARY ENVIRONMENT, CONCEIVED, DESIGNED AND MADE IN ENGLAND. NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC MATERIALS ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER THROUGH BRITISH CRAFTSMANSHIP AND ADVANCED MANUFACTURING.

GIVEN A BRIEF TO CREATE SOMETHING MODERN AND CREATIVE, THE IDEA BECOMES THE CORE OF THE PROJECT. EVERY ELEMENT IS DEVELOPED FROM THE CONCEPT, ALLOWING ART AND DESIGN TO MOVE FREELY BETWEEN THE INTERIOR, FURNITURE, LIGHTING, SCULPTURE AND OBJECTS.

THE WORK EXPLORES HOW A PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY CAN BECOME A PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT – TRANSFORMING PEACE, LOVE, FRIENDSHIP AND CREATIVITY INTO SOMETHING THAT CAN BE LIVED WITHIN AND EXPERIENCED EVERY DAY.”
