Anchoring the seating area are bespoke mahogany wood sofas with chocolate-brown velvet upholstery, their semicircular backs echoing the curvature of the bookcase’s vertical elements. Bauhaus armchairs by Tecta upholstered in wool bouclé fabric (originally designed in 1920 by Walter Gropius and reissued) lend a sense of structured elegance, while the interplay of textures—from the vintage North African Tuareg rug to the Child Studio-designed parchment-shaded ceramic lamps—reinforces the room’s tactile richness. Beside the spiral staircase, a low table in cherry wood paired with a set of cross-legged stools, both by Child Studio, the former inspired by the works of Swedish modernist Axel Einar Hjorth, the latter by Luis Barragán, make for an elegant reading nook.
In the adjacent dining area, the Studio’s Art Deco-informed round mahogany dining table subtly complements the vintage Pierre Jeanneret teak chairs, originally crafted for Le Corbusier’s Chandigarh project in the 1960s, and the vintage 1920s Neoclassical pendant light hanging above. Beneath, a wool and silk rug—another bespoke piece by Child Studio—grounds the arrangement in understated luxury, while an 18th-century limestone fireplace sourced from France lends a storied presence.
