Sasha Bikoff’s rooms don't just look extraordinary — they make you feel as if you've stepped out into a dream. What most people don't know about Sasha is that before she ever touched a floor plan, she was working the desk at Gagosian Gallery — one of the most competitive rooms in the art world. That training in how serious collectors see art and experience space is felt throughout all of the interiors she creates. She studied fine art and art history in Washington and Paris, and her projects now span Milan, Marrakech, Palm Beach, and her beloved New York. In this episode, she joins host Alexndra Fairweather on one of John Chamberlain's couches for a conversation that feels exactly like one of her rooms: one you won't want to leave.
