The ‘Threshold’ Isn’t a Boundary but a Bridge – Claire Sá on Why Your Home Needs (At Least) One

Windowpane 'threshold' joining either side of a bespoke dresser.

In an era when watches double as phones, phones double as computers, and computers double as our entire workspace, we’ve come to expect a certain level of duality. Interiors are no exception, a truth elegantly illustrated by designer Claire Sá’s duplex project at 60 Curzon, where a home office and dressing room coexist, divided (and defined) by what she calls a 'threshold.'

It’s an approach that redefines what a ‘room’ even is, giving open spaces both intention and ease. Claire’s work asks: why should a dressing room orbit the bedroom if your mornings begin in meetings rather than makeup? Because with multifunctionality top of the modern mind, what we need isn’t more rooms – it’s smarter ones. Spaces that separate and connect in equal measure, syncing Zoom calls with zipping up.
