Audra

Audra Kiewiet de Jonge guides her interior design practice with an art-first approach built upon years in the art world and formal training as a painter. Her work carries the hallmark of an eye attuned to the exceptional and unexpected with an approachability that feels fresh and unencumbered.

At the root of Audra’s work is the concept of value, and creating lived environments for the pieces that hold value in our life — whether a child’s finger painting or one by Cy Twombly. Previously Audra has held positions with Galería OMR in Mexico City, with Kate Brodsky of KRB in New York, and Maja Smith of Found by Maja in San Francisco.

It is one of humankind’s profound mysteries that what sets us apart from the kingdom of animals is our capacities to make War and Art. To destroy and to create. Today, Armistice Day—the end of The Great War on Nov 11, 1918—is now a
