are lacquered red; the total effect of the room, lit by a
vintage chandelier, is of a vivid, cheerful banquet.
The living room draws upon mid-century modern artifacts
and furniture, but in this interior they look timeless. The
color scheme is white, red, gold and black: deep white
sofas piped in red, French 1940s chairs upholstered
in a boldly patterned red and gold fabric. A wooden
Indian bed with a woven top serves dramatically as a
coffee table. The black and white theme (which recurs
throughout the house) is reiterated in a stunning zebra
skin rug.
