The room called for a round coffee table, but not an ordinary one. Designed for our Living Room at the 2026 @sfshowcase , the Pondicherry cocktail table, evolved into one with great form. The silhouette opens through soft cutouts rather than a perfect circle, and the legs sit apart from the top, creating a sense of lightness and suspension. Crafted in Pondicherry, a coastal town in southern India, it is made from sumptuous materials. Teak wrapped in leather with layered brass detailing across the surface. What emerged feels both sculptural and effortless, designed to feel equally at home in traditional and modern spaces alike.

For our Living Room at the 2026 @sfshowcase , we designed a floating demi-lune console inspired by the graceful drape of an Indian sari. Crafted in ash wood with a soft ombré finish, the piece features hand-carved floral motifs that recall the texture and intricacy of embroidery. Along the border, gold accents reference the richness of zari work traditionally woven into Indian textiles. Though rooted in heritage craft, the form feels distinctly modern: suspended from the wall, sculptural in silhouette, and quietly architectural within the room. Like much of ISHARA, it became a dialogue between past and present, where traditional artistry is reimagined for contemporary living SF Showcase: @sfshowcase Photography & Videography: @elledcoagency Styling: @matador_studio PR: @davisgonthier Build: @cookconstruction #sfshowcase #designpress #ishara #sanfranciscointeriordesigner #bayareadesigner

The first thing I envisioned for the room was the swing with a reversible back. Before the palette, the frescoes, or the furnishings, I knew that the elegant curved bay window—with its fantastic view of the Golden Gate Bridge—needed a piece of furniture that invited one to sit, pause, and gaze outward if they chose to. The swing was crafted in Hyderabad, India, using a mix of materials. Its organic-shaped base is made from teak; the reversible back from charred ash wood; and the brass details and hardware allow it to function exactly as intended. A simple idea, beautifully considered.

The question most visitors asked was: What was the starting point of the vision? It began with a swing. A double-sided seat nestled into the curved bay window, where one could turn toward conversation or toward the view, without having to choose. From there, the room unfolded slowly: lime-washed walls in Wedgewood Blue, hand-painted frescoes touched with mirrorwork, carved forms, fretwork, metalwork, and furnishings that carried the hand of the maker. Art and objects became the final notes, bringing texture, color, and joy. What began as a room of possibility became a living expression of heritage, design, and story.

Honored to launch one of our latest projects in Ross.  This home takes shape through disciplined craftsmanship and a focus on how every detail comes together as a whole. Step into the residence’s exterior entry and wraparound porch where curved geometry, refined transitions, and carefully executed materials are emphasized. The result is a cohesive exterior construction that we are proud to stand behind. We are thrilled to have this project featured in the May/June 2026 issue of Luxe Interiors + Design (@luxemagazine ).

Congratulations to @jeffreyneveinteriordesign on “Double Standard,” the kids room with a bay window at the 2026 San Francisco Decorator Showcase @sfshowcase . A space that balances imagination with refinement, where layered details create both comfort and personality. The fireplace, finished in Emperador Dark Polished Marble, adds depth and structure, grounding the room with a rich, timeless presence. Playful, elevated, and thoughtfully composed. Thank you for including us. We are proud to be part of it. Partners: @murphymckenna_construction

Double standard. 🎓 @jeffreyneveinteriordesign s boys’ bedroom at @sfshowcase is inspired by his dog-eared copy of The Official Preppy Handbook and the stylized world of Rushmore — a room built on tradition but tailored for what comes next. We lacquered these vintage twin beds from @chairish in custom green and upholstered them in vegan woven leather. Classic codes, personal interpretation. The kind of space that honors where you came from while making room for who you’re becoming. Two beds. Two young men on the verge of independence. Stepping into their own point of view. See it in person at 2026 Decorator Showcase: 2315 Broadway Street, San Francisco #DecoratorShowcase #SanFrancisco #InteriorDesign #Revitaliste #DesignDetails #reupholstery #customlacquer #choseold #beforeafter #furniturerevitalization #JeffreyNeve #vintagefurniture
