DINING ROOM
Eclectic is not enough of an adjective to describe the magnitude and beauty of this room.
More than 26 pieces were used to furnish, decorate and illuminate the dining area. An
astonishing feat in design, this zone has a mix of styles, textures, finishes, fabrics, and
colors, but perfectly cohesive, without any piece being too loud or too overpowering.
This antithesis in styles is perfectly noticeable in the cabinets for instance, where the
Lapiaz Cabinets cracks a contemporary style into the living room, while the Guggenheim
Cabinet brings a much more classical approach to the overall design. The Empire dining
table is the main piece of the room that portraits to perfection the homage this house
represents to the city’s history, by symbolizing generations of gatherings and decisions,
both in times of celebration or tension. Its cracks reflect tough times, revealing a gold
interior in a manifesto towards power. Flawless and bright, the remaining surface points
towards a thriving future, reminding one to toast to prosperity.
The royal theme continues throughout the dining room with the golden finishes, bringing
the overall design to completion.
