STEVEN VOLPE ~ DESIGN IN SAN FRANCISCO

Interior designer Steven Volpe, trained by Anthony Hail and Eleanor Ford, designed his loft, a 75 years old General Motors warehouse.   Volpe decorated the warehouse with a combination of classic/traditional decor.

After realizing that this style was not for him, Volpe redecorated using a mix of more modern pieces of art and furniture that he truly loved, realizing that a few great pieces are better than a house full of generic décor.  His environment needed to reach each of the senses, and it does.   ENJOY!
