For this bachelor’s home, the goal was to respect the conservative details of the space while showcasing his own eclectic style. Black lacquered window frames and pale grey walls provided a tailored foundation, highlighting a curated selection of more colorful furnishings. Classic forms such as a Dunbar style sofa and George Nelson bench were paired with a traditional rug in saturated color, emphasizing the strong cobalt velvet. In the dining area, an assemblage of photographs from a 1980’s Fort Dearborn Chicago Photo Forum create a striking, graphic statement against the live-edge dining table and olive velvet chairs. It is this balance of traditional and modern forms that makes the home anything but ordinary.
