Description

In this episode of the Slow Style Home podcast, I interview Mallory Robins and Elizabeth Bennett, founders of KOBEL + Co. We explore their design philosophy, which includes the use of 'ugly' pieces to add tension, balance, and serendipity. They explain how incorporating antiques and avoiding matchiness can make spaces more interesting and welcoming. We discuss the importance of taking your time to evolve your style and the impact of personal and historical items in a home. Through photo examples from their projects, we analyze how they skillfully mix materials, colors, and eras even in children’s rooms. This episode offers a rich visual and conceptual understanding of their approach to design.
