Tribeza Interiors Tour 2020: Sara Cukerbaum
The SLIC Design founder is into black for kitchens and bathrooms
Eye-catching and colorful yet minimalist describes SLIC Design founder Sara Cukerbaum’s style. The Texas-native just opened up her South Lamar storefront filled with gorgeous home décor goodies like luxe velvet burgundy pillows and sculptural accessories. That same aesthetic is carried through in one of her latest interiors projects, the Bouldin Creek home of Via 313 Co-founder Brandon Hunt, which is featured on Tribeza’s Interiors Tour 2020. There’s the waterfall-edge dining table, the low-profile living room sofa imported from Italy, the golden yellow headboard in the master bedroom and the unexpected warm and cool tones in the main living spaces.
We asked each of the designers on this year’s Interiors Tour to answer a series of questions about their personal style and aesthetic to get a deeper sense of their influences and what informs their design.
