Schoeni Projects Interiors debuts at Asian Art in London
1 – 5 November 2025
London
This November, Schoeni Projects Interiors (spi) debuts at Sotheby’s London as part of Asian Art In London 2025 with Heritage as a Living Dialogue (1–5 November 2025), marking the beginning of a journey that reflects its focus on curated interior collectibles rooted in global heritage and contemporary art.
"At spi, we believe the objects we choose to live with — whether antique or contemporary — not only shape our spaces, but also reflect our personal aesthetics and deepen our cultural understanding. To collect is not only to preserve, but also to tell a story — one that unfolds with every object acquired and every space curated." — Nicole Schoeni (2025)
Presented in conversation with Lloyd Choi Gallery’s Heritage as Subject, Heritage as a Living Dialogue brings Chinese antique furniture and scholar’s objects into dialogue with contemporary artworks, exploring how material culture and aesthetic values transcend time. At the heart of this presentation is the notion that antiques — once deeply functional — are not only markers of daily life but also expressions of aesthetic and cultural identity. Selected pieces such as altar tables, lamp hanger chairs, and low benches are shown alongside refined scholar’s objects including brush pots and trays. These historical works are juxtaposed with contemporary art by artists such as Chen Fei (b.1983), Go Hung (b.1980) and Yue Minjun (b.1962), creating a dynamic interplay between eras, materials, and meaning.
This exhibition brings that philosophy to life, blending historic craftsmanship with contemporary voices to create interiors that feel lived-in, layered, and resonant.
spi's work is grounded at the intersection of art and interiors, curating collectible pieces that carry stories, honour heritage, and foster dialogue across people, places, and time — revealing the synergy between past and present.
The exhibition is part of Asian Art in London 2025 at Sotheby’s, London.
