Soggiorno

I wanted to achieve a very colorful open space with a mixture of textures
and styles. I call this project the "modern and the rustic sharing the same space."

A large hole was opened into the wall to function as a window with a fixed glass,
which now overlooks the sea. The window seat with pillows gives the feeling
of leaning over the water. I designed two triangle chairs and covered them
with hand-painted fabrics.

I designed the curved and twisted pine torchiere lamp as a playful addition
to the cheerful fireplace. The mantel of the fireplace was eliminated and the
surrounding walls were covered with solid color tiles.

Across the fireplace, I did not want a conventional arrangement of seating.
I built a pony wall with a long masonry seat, covered with a raw silk cushion.
The wall ends with a series of built-in drawers also covered with a raw
silk fabric and brass drawer pulls.
