MOJEH meets with Dubai-based artist Kate Toledo, to discuss her transition into the bold world of interior design. Translating her historically-inspired paintings into maximalist home interiors — from chairs to tableware and travel accessories — Kate Toledo Home offers a collection of bespoke decor pieces that are made to be loved and lived in.
My personal style is rather eclectic, we are great travellers and collectors so we have a huge mix of pieces from Chinese porcelain from the 19th century, to Murano glass pieces from the 1950’s, to pre Colombian pottery, carpets amongst others plus a rather large art collection.
Living in the region for the past 15 years has been a great privilege. The diversity in the population has to be one of the defining features and the way this diversity colours our lives. The Middle East, its art and ancient treasures were the themes of my first three exhibitions in Dubai. Yes, we live in an inspiring region for sure.
We do have a growth strategy plan, not only with KTH, but also branching out into other industries. But for now, our main focus is to ensure Kate Toledo Home grows and becomes part of everyone’s home.
