Living room with curved ivory sofa, dark marble coffee table, fireplace and a round dining table beyond

How the concept reads the house

The concept keeps one palette across the house, ivory, warm beige, muted sage, walnut and antique brass, so the foyer, the living room and the kitchen read as one sequence. Classic detailing is limited to what frames the rooms: panelled walls, fluted wood, mouldings around the wallpaper and a dark marble fireplace surround.

The contemporary side sits in the pieces people use every day: rounded upholstered seating, ribbed-glass sconces, velvet, bouclé and linen in sage and ivory. Every room has its own furniture layout with dimensions in the design drawings.

Living room around the fireplace

A 264 cm sofa and four armchairs face two round coffee tables, with the fireplace as the focal wall. The TV unit stands on the opposite wall, and a long sideboard closes the dining end of the room.
