The custom area rug – inspired by a Chanel tweed suit – hugged every angle of the room. A shapely side chair and lacquered desk, designed to fit the high-ceilinged nook, were sparked by generous splashes of Hermès orange. And every inch of the library shelves was accessorized with exacting detail. Across the foyer, dramatic artwork served as the focal point in the minimalist dining room. We softened the space with heather gray wool walls and a subtle take-off of a chic animal print on the barrel-vaulted ceiling.
