The Considerate Connection of Understated and Underrated<\/h2>\n

With over 15 years of experience, Robert Stephan has earned international recognition for crafting unique, highly curated spaces. Renowned for his expertise in vintage design and contemporary collectibles, he masterfully fuses different design eras, creating interiors of exceptional depth and sophistication. His reputation for refined eclecticism led him to collaborate with fashion entrepreneur and now business partner Peter Schlagb\u00f6hmer on his two private homes. Their shared passion for extraordinary design and rare objects inspired them to bring an exclusive selection of collectible design to the German-speaking market.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/a><\/span>

The Rope | Studio: One-of-a-kind Refined Interiors<\/h2>\n

At The Rope | Studio, each project embodies timeless sophistication, seamlessly blending architecture, materiality, and bespoke design. The studio offers a fully integrated approach to interior design \u2013 from spatial planning and material selection to custom-built elements and meticulously sourced furniture. With an uncompromising dedication to craftsmanship and individuality, The Rope | Studio creates interiors that are both deeply personal and extraordinarily refined. The transformation of a 1970s bungalow in Munich underscores The Rope | Studio\u2019s dedication to redefining spatial experiences. Originally characterised by stark minimalism, the home was reimagined through thoughtful materiality and expertly curated furnishings. Warm wooden panelling in the entrance and standout pieces from George Nakashima, Rick Owens, and Vladimir Kagan infused the space with intimacy and character. The result is a residence that retains its architectural integrity while radiating modern Americana’s inviting essence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/a><\/span>

One striking residence was transformed into a relaxed, California-inspired retreat through Robert Stephan\u2019s expert curation. By integrating exquisite vintage pieces with contemporary craftsmanship, The Rope | Studio created a harmonious space exuding effortless sophistication. The furniture selection, featuring design legends such as Pierre Guariche, Pierre Chapo, and Charlotte Perriand, was complemented by an Osvaldo Borsani vintage armchair. A rare Jean Prouv\u00e9 aluminum door with porthole windows adds architectural intrigue while connecting the library to the living space.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/a><\/span>

The library\u2019s custom fireplace with dark, irregular, handcrafted ceramic tiles by Porzellanmanufaktur Nymphenburg is complemented by an Osvaldo Borsani vintage armchair, a Francesco Balzano coffee table and a rare vintage Pierre Guariche swingarm lamp.<\/span><\/p>\n

David Chipperfield\u2019s architecture set the stage for an extraordinary home, while The Rope | Studio infused it with a masterful interior concept \u2013 thoughtfully curated, yet effortlessly livable. Balancing respect for Chipperfield\u2019s vision with creative freedom, the studio blended rare vintage treasures with contemporary icons. A standout piece was Renzo Schirolli\u2019s ultra-rare desk \u2013 lost at auction but later discovered elsewhere. Sculptural works by Daniel Arsham and McCollin Bryan added artistic depth, while warm oak, walnut, and soft linen created a tactile sense of comfort. Every element was chosen to enhance the daily experience, ensuring the space remained elegant yet welcoming. More than a showcase of design, the home became a living canvas \u2013 beautiful, functional, and shaped by everyday life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/a><\/span>
