Sofas and chairs in black, cognac and cream leather provide architectural details that make the room stunning from all entry points. The rich leather gives a nod to a genteel era, while accents of stainless steel and bronze lighting add a modern soft glow.

Lounge chairs, popular in the mid-20th century provide accent seating with interesting angles. The classic handcrafted furniture is updated for today’s relaxed and casual living.

A strong sense of luxury has been introduced by adding rare "found" objects like one of a kind high-end vintage lighting and a drop-glass chandelier that serves as the room’s center piece above the bar.

A new fireplace has been installed and elevated to eye level for a dramatic visual upon entry. The new look and feel exudes an inviting palette of colors, from walnut wood-paneled walls, to textured fabrics and hand-knotted area rugs from the Himalaya’s cover the Italian marble floors, to soften the space with a cozy and relaxed mood.
