Michael Berkeley talks to the interior designer John Stefanidis, whose work is internationally renowned for its bold use of colour. He draws inspiration from many different cultures and this cosmopolitan approach is reflected in his music choices, which include works by Brahms, Korngold, Rossini and Tchaikovsky as well as Indian music, played by Ravi Shankar.
