Design Philosophy

The inspiration behind Wertz | Contemporary Design embodies a rich mix of sources, from all around the globe, from past and present, from indigenous cultures and even from lost civilizations. The value of rich associations from other times and places translates into sophisticated, eclectic designs that are both contemporary and traditional. The result is an atlas of design, of style through diversity.

Wertz | Contemporary Design fuses modern, traditional, and ethnic design, not so much as to contrast them as to show that the fluid simplicity of ethnic and traditional styles from as far and wide as Africa, Asia and South America, is akin to the minimalism of contemporary Western design. By integrating the traditional and aged with the contemporary and new, Wertz | Contemporary Design seeks to create a dynamic fusion of interior design that has both a sense of timelessness and of harmony and balance. There is a synergy between the bold, organic and colorful ethnic patterns and styles, which complements the understated shapes and lines of today’s interior design fashioned with a contemporary edge.

The global sources from which the Wertz | Contemporary design aesthetic is drawn has a universal appeal, enhanced by the materials prominently featured in the collection. These materials: exotic woods, stone, metal, earth, textiles and fibers, represent the natural elements. These raw materials are those of our ancestors, and the threads of our ancestral memory weave us together in appreciation of their rugged durability and soothe us with their comforting warmth and intimacy. In this technological age, nature draws us into its own web. Wertz | Contemporary Designs inspire us to reconnect with nature’s textures, scents and colors, and invites us to create a peaceful haven from this fast paced world, a living space centered on contemporary sensual natural interiors.

Wertz | Contemporary Design’s focus on natural material lends itself to interiors that minimize clutter and accentuate organic simplicity, a signature of contemporary style. The creative dialogue between the global styles represented, fusing the modern and traditional aesthetics, creates a stimulating visual tapestry. Wertz | Contemporary's fusion design reinvigorates the heart, body and mind with its universal resonance, fueled by the essence and power of the natural elements from which Wertz | Contemporary Design stems.
