all the tables, the round ottomans and the lighting fixtures.
To complement the couple's fine art collection, this design incorporates
many sculptural elements in the furnishings, including wrapped
lights by Ingo Maurer

and artisan created coffee and end tables.
The wood of the furniture is primarily done in a chocolate finish,
with bird-eye's maple on the end tables

All the furniture legs are either tapered wood or simple metal

The colors in this room are rich and warm and the fabrics are lush.
The couch is covered in a butter yellow fabric and the chairs are
covered in a soft, yet extremely durable ultrasuede -- deep red-orange
on the Cherner chairs and chocolate brown on the modern armchair

Each ottoman is covered in two shades of a soft, supple leather,

The draperies are done in a gold dupioni silk, with a lighter gold

With walls painted in shades of amber - a lighter tint
for 3 of the walls, and a deeper shade for the front wall with the
bow window - the large soaring bronze sculpture really stands out.
