Renowned designer Robert Stilin and prominent gallerist Sarah Gavlak share a longstanding friendship that has fueled their recent endeavor in transforming West Palm Beach’s historic Norton House. Their exhibition, titled “Living with Art and Design,” is on view until March 16. In this immersive showcase, Stilin curates spaces by integrating furniture, lighting, and decorative elements sourced from nearly a dozen prominent New York designers and galleries, including renowned names like The Campana Brothers, Ashley Hicks, and Max Lamb. These designs harmonize with contemporary art pieces—paintings, sculptures, and installations—procured from Gavlak’s local and Los Angeles galleries, thereby emphasizing the interconnectedness between exquisite art and high-end functional design.
