For the debut offering, Ioannou has curated hand-blown glassware from the 1980s from a family-owned firm in Murano, one-of-a-kind French candlestick holders, Italian porcelain plates, and hand-painted brass vases from Denmark. “Each piece has been thoughtfully chosen from various eras and regions to form a cohesive story,” says Ioannou. The result is a collection that captures the spirit of Ioannou’s own interior style: layered, storied, and evocative. She describes her home as “an oasis of curated treasures that resonate and bring me joy.” It’s a spirit she says she inherited from her mother, so when it came to Objects of Affection’s evocative campaign imagery, only one location would do: her mother’s colorfully wallpapered and upholstered home in Montecito.
