Sydney Moss x Bertioli Wallpaper for Pitts, Brooklyn

For Brooklyn-based interior designer Sydney Moss, every project is an opportunity to weave a story—one rooted in nostalgia, personality, and a deep appreciation for sustainability. Known for her whimsical yet functional approach, Sydney has a talent for transforming interiors into spaces that feel both lived-in and full of character. When designing Pitt’s, the vision was clear—to make every seat feel like stepping inside a still life painting. We love seeing how interior designer incorporate our products in their project. We love seeing how designers bring our products to life, and Sydney’s use of the Bertioli Carrot Wallpaper at Pitts Restaurant in Brooklyn is no exception. Let’s dive into how she made it a key ingredient in the space.

"The walls are often the first thing people notice when entering a space, giving them a distinct character or feature can bring the whole design together."

Inspired by vintage still life artwork shared by the restaurant’s owner, the space was carefully curated to evoke a nostalgic, homey atmosphere, drawing from ’90s and early 2000s kitchen aesthetics. From thrifted decorative plates and frames to fruit- and vegetable-themed ceramics, every detail was handpicked to create a sense of warmth and familiarity. The design process was a balance between functionality and storytelling, ensuring that materials like red oak shiplap provided durability while elements like wallpaper and limewash added character without compromising practicality.

"We knew we wanted to use a lot of vegetable. The wallpaper felt like a great way to bring in this motif but in a more sophisticated way to balance out the silly paintings and ceramics.

A standout feature of the space is the Bertioli wallpaper, which became the defining design element of what is now affectionately known as “The Carrot Room.”“The orange and greens in the wallpaper were the driving force in almost every decision that came after,” shaping everything from stained glass lighting to rattan shades and a tin ceiling. The response from guests has been overwhelmingly positive, with many saying the space “feels like a place that has always been there”—a testament to the power of thoughtful, immersive design. This project highlights how wallpaper and statement patterns can be truly transformative in hospitality spaces, bringing cohesion, personality, and a touch of whimsy to the experience.
