APOP, A Place of Possibility, was founded in 2018 by Erica Harmelin to offer conceptual vision, interior design and branded styling for story driven environments. The company name reflects our distinct process of discovery and potential. We strive to achieve what is possible for each of our endeavors: Our Projects. Our Clients. Our Company. Our Lives.
Our boutique interiors studio specializes in hospitality, residential and commercial properties offering a fresh, bold approach to design for Clients looking to shape their cultural future. Our designs are empathetic and unique to each setting; we do not define ourselves by one style or project journey. Our goal is always to bring the vision and values of our clients to life and in turn, fulfill our purpose as artistic seekers in the world around us.
After successfully procuring and styling a multitude of unique settings since opening, APOP is expanding with an online shop. A Place Home will offer curated home décor and gifts with seasonal specialties ~ for all the places you call home.
