white scheme. By staging the classics in a common
color scheme, Beckstedt understates their presence;
these are important pieces, but they reside, above all, in
a 21st century room which presents them in a fresh way.
At the opposite side of the room, Beckstedt again defines
the space with a remarkable rug, one woven to resemble
large rustic floor tiles or perhaps the rectangular spots on
a giraffe. Rietveld���s Z chair is here, coupled with a pair of
vintage Saarinen womb chairs in white. The feeling of this
room is at once elegant and earthy, an odd combination,
but one which Beckstedt accomplishes with ease.
