A borderless research and expertise in historic design and decorative arts has over time amassed a significant private collection which Cameron draws on to create spaces that are nuanced and immersive—garnering loyal and discerning clients from the worlds of art, music and film—who have relied on his ability to build or elaborate collections of important design.
