  • A DIALOGUE BETWEEN ART, DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE

    CURATED BY THE MILLEN HOUSE
  • Art in Residence

    Art in Residence

    Set close to Amsterdam’s Vondelpark, ELISABETH SYMPONY is a private residence conceived by interior design studio MOSCANDI around material, proportion and a restrained palette of deep greens and natural tones.

     

    The Millen House was invited as curatorial partner to develop the collection of art and collectible design throughout the residence. Working in dialogue with MOSCANDI, the gallery assembled a selection spanning twentieth-century masters, rare design pieces and a younger generation of contemporary artists and makers.

     

    Rather than following a single period or movement, the collection was built around relationships. Organic forms meet rigorous geometries; aged surfaces sit against the precision of the architecture; works carrying decades of history enter into conversation with pieces made today. The natural world remains a quiet thread throughout — present in colour, material and form rather than as a literal motif.

    Each work was considered in relation to the rooms around it: its scale, position, sightlines and the objects it encounters. In this way, art and design become part of the architecture rather than additions to it.

     

    ELISABETH SYMPONY reflects The Millen House’s approach to collecting: moving freely between art and design, established names and emerging talent, to build interiors with depth, character and a sense of discovery.

     

    All works presented in ELISABETH SYMPONY are available for acquisition through The Millen House. Following a purchase, founder and curator Niek Schoenmakers can advise on placement and installation within your own interior, considering each work in relation to its architectural context.

    A Shared Perspective

    The Millen House × Moscandi

    In a continued collaboration, The Millen House and Amsterdam-based interior design studio Moscandi, founded by Maxime, bring together their shared appreciation for architecture, art and timeless design.

    Moscandi's approach combines minimalism, functionality and natural materials, with a sensitivity to the history and character of each building. This philosophy closely aligns with the vision of The Millen House, founded by architect and curator Niek Schoenmakers, whose practice brings together twentieth-century and contemporary art and collectible design across periods and disciplines.

     

    Together, both practices explore how art and interior design can enrich one another. By respecting the architectural past while introducing new perspectives, the collaboration creates layered, personal interiors where art is not simply an addition, but an integral part of the space.
