Imagine walking into a space that overlooks water and emanates balance and serenity. This existing home had many interesting and architectural details that became the catalyst in designing the interior. Exotic woods were already in place in various places such as doors and fireplace surrounds, so we chose to continue this in furniture pieces. The idea was to create ensembles rather than sets, so we paired bamboo chairs with a custom table that has carved glass and a painted insert. Throughout the home we paired simple elegant upholstery with colorful art. The sappeli wood dining table has soft upholstered chairs with a chandelier that mimics rolling water. In using metals, exotic woods and organic fabrics of silks and wool, we created an inviting and restful environment that pays tribute to fixed features in both the outside environment and the interior architecture.
