Beyond Furniture: The World of Grand Living’s Art & Artefact’s

At Grand Living, the story doesn’t end with timeless furniture. It begins again—with the art and artifacts that surround each piece, enriching spaces with texture, meaning, and memory. Their Private Collection is a testament to this belief: that well-curated objects can transform an interior from beautiful to unforgettable.

Grand Living designs and crafts sophisticated, timeless furniture pieces. When paired with their curated ‘old meets new’ artifacts, the result is a distinctive style that sets the brand apart. There is an inherent beauty in discovering something unique—something old, something that tells a story from a faraway land, crafted by artisans who follow traditions passed down through generations.

This is what Grand Living treasures. This is real magic.

Guided by a philosophy of “heritage meets innovation”, the Grand Living team has built a carefully curated collection of cultural objects and contemporary design pieces that balance history with modern sensibility. From ceremonial masks to totemic statues, from woven baskets to sculpted stools, each artefact is chosen not just for its visual impact but for its ability to carry history into the present.

The Curator’s Eye: How Grand Living Selects with Purpose

Choosing the right object is not just a design decision—it’s an act of storytelling. Whether you are a collector, a decorator, or someone drawn to meaningful interiors, how you select your art and artifacts plays a vital role in shaping your space’s atmosphere and emotional depth.

Here are key principles Grand Living follows when curating its Private Collection:

1. Emotional Resonance
Pieces must evoke feeling—be it reverence, nostalgia, or curiosity. Authentic art resonates because it’s rooted in something real.

2. Visual Impact
Silhouettes, textures, patinas—objects are chosen for their ability to stand out quietly and beautifully in a well-designed space.

3. Deeper Meaning
The best pieces carry conceptual weight, offering more than visual beauty. They communicate ideas, values, and culture.

4. Every Object Tells a Story
Narrative is key. Whether a carved totem or a ceremonial mask, each piece is selected for the history and meaning it carries.

5. A Fresh Perspective
Grand Living avoids the expected, favoring rare finds and overlooked forms that bring originality to interiors.

6. Cultural Reverence
Sourcing is ethical, thoughtful, and respectful—celebrating global craftsmanship and heritage without appropriation.

7. Intentional Connection
While selected for their integrity, pieces are also chosen for their ability to connect with collectors, designers, and those who seek substance in their surroundings.

Inside the Private Collection: A World of Meaningful Objects

Each object in Grand Living’s Private Collection is carefully categorized and displayed with intention. Here’s a glimpse into the categories that define their offering:

  • Art – A curated selection of fine art and sculptural pieces rooted in storytelling and craft.

  • Masks – Symbolic forms from ceremonial and ritual origins, rich in history and layered meaning.

  • Statues & Totems – Carved expressions of tradition, belief, and identity, each one commanding presence.

  • Baskets – Functional yet deeply artistic, showcasing indigenous weaving techniques and natural materials.

  • Pots, Bowls & Vessels – Objects of daily and sacred use, elevated by hand-crafted beauty and age-old form.

  • Shields & Stamps – Once tools of protection and expression, now collected for their unique graphic presence.

  • Stools – Sculptural and symbolic seating, often carved from a single piece of wood—minimalist, enduring, and essential.

  • Jewellery – Personal adornments made with meaning, often rooted in ritual, hierarchy, or artistry.

Each item is more than an object—it’s a bridge between cultures, histories, and modern life.
