In a world where taste often feels manufactured, Oscar Sunderland’s feels instinctive a gut-level radar for objects that hum with life. From the carefully cluttered calm of OCD Gallery co founded with his partner in the art world Chloe Stewart, he’s built a space that blurs the line between collector and curator, chaos and control. Each piece, whether a towering canvas painted by friend and client Leopoldo Gout or a sketch by a friend, carries its own rhythm a dialogue between obsession and restraint.We spoke with Oscar about the rituals of collecting, the parallels between art and watchmaking, and the quiet satisfaction of living with things that endure. After a quick tour around his apartment and some of his favourite objects, we headed to the Park restaurant and met up with our designer Emmanuel Gueit for some light refreshment. Over the course of a couple of hours Emmanuel and Oscar had a passionate conversation about all things design. We’ve condensed their meeting below.
