After 40 years of conceiving homes for a vast American elite, Anthony Ingrao and Randy Kemper continue to reawaken the awe that we feel when we first look at their projects. 
In a conversation where extravagance and enthusiasm were apparent from the first question to the last, the founder of the namesake studio invites us to reflect on the importance of aesthetic emotion during troubling times. The secret? Never to take ourselves too seriously. And after all, this is living proof that what is most essential is also visible to the eye.

INÊS GRAÇA How did the creative journey begin that would lead to the creation of the studio in 1982? ANTHONY INGRAO It all started on my first adult trip to Paris. My first night I was invited to a party at the Palais Club in Privilege, where I met the kind of interesting, creative, and eclectic people I hadn’t stumbled across in New York. I was then invited to stay for the next 15 years where I built my business and refined my vision and creative skills.

Revisiting your portfolio is a real trip down memory lane. Could you choose a soundtrack to accompany that experience? I was influenced by the Beatles anthology over the decades, but also Madonna, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens. It was a time when people sang to you and shared their story.

What other references keep you motivated on a daily basis? For me it all starts with nature. The sun, trees, ocean, and that sense of infinity.
