The Japanese embrace shibui - the concept that true beauty is subdued, unassuming and yet refined. This shimmering high rise living room combines linen, silk, stone and painted wood to wonderful effect. A skillful mix of antique and modern elements works on many levels. The extraordinary painted bonnet top desk is a Swedish antique - somewhat rustic and simple, but pure of line. What a foil for the refined new classicism of the shapely wing chair and three legged(!) coffee table! |
