Design Board: Slinky Sofa Living Room

Neutrals, but through a looking glass, slightly softened, warmer whites, softer, silkier blacks. Inspired by snakeskin, and fluid movement.

The sofa that started it all. A vintage DS 600 leather stunner by De Sede. Creamy leather, in all its superstar glory. All the other pieces are dark in tone to ensure this sofa stays the centre of the design.

A slinky sofa deserves a slinky rug, yes? The Monty Rug from W Studio fits the bill, a subtle snakeskin pattern in tonal greys..

A pair of ebony armchairs are light in footprint, but strong in presence with their modernist lines and exceptional construction.

An undulating leather top and midcentury vibe wood-frame link the inlaid natural oak floorboards to the furnishings.

That sofa requires a special coffee table, and this curvilinear rectangular form wrapped in black lizard leather by Karl Springer will do nicely.

A pair of Marcel Wanders floor lamps by Cappelini flank the sofa, increasing its visual weight and offering balance to all the dark tones in the space.

The Bezier oak console rests against the back wall, providing storage and display space behind the seating area. A rich black stain keeps it modern and cohesive with the rest of the space.

Spectacular photograph based art by Rita Bernstein is the crowning element of this room, haunting imagery created by her unique process of combining beeswax, oil paint and photography on paper.

Design Board: Gallery Living Room

What type of living space does a minimalist, eclectic art collector require as a backdrop for her pieces? Curvilinear shapes realized in crisp black and chalky white, the perfect frames for a revolving, ever-expanding art obsession.

A modern-yet-comfortable, low-slung sofa in the darkest velvet grounds the space and encourages lingering.

Conversation will flow with guests seated in these sculptural Attribution armchairs whose curves deserve their own appreciation.

Extra seating/footstools/installation pieces feature white linen seats and stacked forms that flow perfectly with the other furnishings.

Chalk-toned concrete offers a full circle of arches with this round coffee table, reinforcing form and texture here, as well as being extremely practical for use.

Pulling all the furnishings together is a wild dotty wool rug, which adds a layer of pattern and interest and repeats our circular shapes used through the room.

Stunning chrome floor lamps add a little sparkle, the unusual scale reflects the playful nature of the home owners approach to decorating their space.

Joining the gathering are the spectacular Totem sculptures by Rueben Karol. The bare wood and artisan nature of these works contrast very well against the polished living room, and add warmth here.

Of course, at the centre of all things fabulous, an equally fabulous plexiglass and brass chandelier by Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt – an organic grouping of organic forms. The influx of color invites you into the space, and encourages you toward the centre of the grouping.

Design Board: Frosty Luxe Bedroom

Subtle shades of pale paired with matte blacks allow the luxe texture and organic pattern to take centre stage in this decadent bedroom.

A vintage velvet channel-tufted bed is a welcome landing space for the owners of this home.

The bed is set against a backdrop of dreamy, delicate black on cream wallpaper. “Frozen Tundra”, via Anthro, of course!

What would a nature backdrop be without a few feathered friends to complete the vision? A vintage Curtis Jere sculpture works perfectly to punctuate and define the bed as the focal point, without overwhelming the bed itself.

On either side of the bed lacquered linen, Deco-inspired nightstands offer a perch for serpent table lamps, immortalized in bronze.

Architect Viggo Boesen’s Little Petra Chair in sheepskin offers seating that truly envelops you, perfect for end-of-day or Sunday morning lounging…

Of course, contrast is the key to this designs charisma, and it is achieved here with the wool/silk masterpiece inspired by embroidery, and named, aptly, Beaded.
