Gabhan O'Keeffe is an architect. His completed projects include: Residences for Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, Isabel Goldsmith, the Marquess of Cholmondeley, Bryan Ferry, William Hurt, and Nan Kempner. He is working on residences in the U.K. as of present.
His own designs are the major influence in his work as a decorator. In fact, O'Keeffe used his Knightsbridge home as a sort of fabric laboratory, trying out new patterns, color combinations and textures. Gabhan stated, "The one wonderful thing about textiles, particularly for people really interested in the past," he says, "is it really is possible to weave something today and see it the way an 18th century pair of eyes would see it."
I particularly enjoy his work for many reasons. I like how he expresses his interiors. I have noticed that he tends to work on interiors for homes, particularly in Europe. He uses contrasting colors and vibrant tones to accentuate certain aspects of a space. Although I think his work is very appealing, it does not look comfortable to me. I do not feel as though the rooms that he decorates are made to be comfortable. For the most part, I see them as being works of art an
