TIONE TRICE

Curator, gallerist, antiques dealer, interior designer, artist, storyteller, and more, Tione Trice is a force to be reckoned with. 

Supernature has for the last few years been fortunate to nurture a really beautiful symbiotic relationship with Tione’s project Of The Cloth, weaving together our mutual goals, inspirations and ideas around space, design, plants and people.
