About Brion’'s design aesthetic took shape in his childhood. While his father imparted his knowledge of the museum quality Chinese porcelains he had collected Brion accompanied his mother as she crisscrossed the East Coast on the hunt for unique treasures. As a result Brion'’s childhood home was filled with handmade English antiques, oriental rugs and interesting objets d'’ art.
As a young man Brion developed a passion for the arts that grew through avid reading and frequent visits to the theater, museums and the symphony. Through extensive travel in Europe and the Far East Brion has cultivated a signature style that is eclectic, classic and clean while maintaining a sense of timeless elegance and sophistication. These travels have also enhanced his appreciation of a wide variety of decorative styles.
After working in the design field for several years Brion attended Harrington College of Design and earned his B.F.A. in Interior Design. In his years as an interior designer Brion'’s style has remained rooted in a classical approach to creating sumptuous, yet highly livable interiors. The client, however, is the ultimate decision maker in any project and Brion works closely with each to assure that their desired look is achieved.
Comfort is key, and Brion gauges the success of a project by an interior that feels as though it is the collection of the homeowner rather than one that is simply decorated. In Brion'’s own words, recalling the rich interiors in which he spent his childhood and youth, “"It is to grander and greater ends that one invents when one begins with one’s own past.”"
