In the Barbican, a hub for London’s modernists, Bryan O’Sullivan’s home stands out as a refreshing departure from the typical monochrome aesthetic. O’Sullivan, together with his husband James O’Neill, recently furnished their home with their debut collection of furniture and lighting. Their designs exude joy and vibrancy, with a mixture of straight lines and curved silhouettes, and a color palette featuring lush pinks, pastels, and bright hues. Their furniture pieces are not only visually appealing but also functional, comfortable, and infused with a sense of humor.
The collection includes a variety of options, from a broad curved sofa in soft pink to handblown-glass pendant lights and the Cosmo lamp, named after their son. Each piece generates a good mood and contributes to the overall happy atmosphere of the home. O’Sullivan and O’Neill prioritize offering a range of choices to their customers and are planning to open a retail space in Mayfair this autumn. They aim to create furniture that is both elegant and accessible, with a touch of glamour.
In collaboration with craftsmen like Tim Dunleavy, O’Sullivan and O’Neill incorporate personalized details into their pieces. For instance, the Harvest dining table can be inlaid with brass motifs, ranging from icons of a city to magic mushrooms made from mother-of-pearl. The attention to detail and the ability to strike a balance between elegance and uniqueness is what sets their collection apart.
Despite the delay in launching the collection, O’Sullivan and O’Neill have taken the time to perfect every aspect. Their studio has gained recognition for its luxury feelgood deco designs that combine energizing colors with historical references. The Macaroon dining chairs, for example, blend classic Bloomsbury influences with a modern twist. Their work embodies elegance without opulence and creates spaces that are not only visually stunning but also supremely comfortable.
The O’Sullivan studio values storytelling and incorporates whimsical elements into its designs. From curvilinear and scalloped shapes to psychedelic marble and candy-inspired side tables, their pieces transport you into a fantastical world. Their collaborations with artists bring added depth and dimension to their collection. Ceramic panels by Cormac Boydell adorn their Boydell cabinet, while glass artist Killian Schurmann lends his expertise to create the Schurmann lamp, inspired by a decorative pomegranate seed.
In just a decade, Bryan O’Sullivan has established his own brand and become a global success. His studio’s work can be seen in prestigious locations like Claridge’s, and new projects are underway with the Maybourne Hotel Group. With their relentless pursuit of perfection and their ability to create imaginative and inviting spaces, O’Sullivan and O’Neill continue to leave a lasting impression in the world of design.
