Edward Burne-Jones ( 1833-1898)
I love this beautiful painting ‘Love among the Ruins’ Burne-Jones wrote that the effect of his art was to create : ‘A beautiful romantic dream of something that never was, never will be ... in a land no one can remember,only desire’. He also claimed that when beauty was aligned with the imagination; ‘ we are close to the secret of all things’ #edwardburnejones #quotes #preraphaelite #beauty #catherinemilnerinteriors

I partnered with CNN as one of four “iconic modern artists” chosen to appear in a feature film about artists exploring their individual crafts in unique and beautiful locations in Dubai. About the project:
Catherine was asked to work with the world famous One&Only, The Palm: Dubai on the film Unique details, focusing on the classical heritage and design found and celebrated in the Gulf state. It was a natural partnership: in the soothing backdrop of the sparkling Arabian Sea and the intimate air of seclusion and tranquility, Catherine saw the same unity and harmony between classic and contemporary luxury design that she incorporates in her own design philosophy.

Fusion of design

According to Catherine, The One&Only, The Palm: Dubai was the ‘perfect complement to my design style – their philosophy puts strong classical references, intimacy, beauty and bespoke finishes at the centre of the hotel’s aesthetic’. The interiors pay homage to the beauty of the ancient Alhambra Palace, juxtaposing classical elegance with modern luxury detailing. The design is perfectly aligned with Catherine’s own distinctive work in producing personalised, elegant and beautifully detailed interiors for private clients.
Dubai – Catherine’s Destination

For Catherine, travel is a way to find inspiration and expand her own creativity:‘‘Regular travel gives my creativity a whole new lease of life. To travel is to immerse yourself and widen your horizons; a new culture offers a new opportunity for both understanding and appreciation. Dubai is simply a wonderful place. It has an energy and excitement generated from constant innovation. You really feel that anything is possible. It is always exciting and inspiring to see a diverse, multi-cultural history being blended into a luxurious landscape by an array of talented artisans who combine stylistic elements from the old and the new in such innovative ways.' #Dubai #CNN #emirates #One&Only #catherinemilnerinteriors #uniquedetails #classicalinfluences #filming
