Working within the footprint of this contemporary glass penthouse was challenging. Shaped like the bow of a ship the central living space is pointed in shape and required some planning to incorporate its many functions: relaxing, entertaining, and working. We chose to use bold design pieces to give definition and to separate each area.
The living space is designed around the Paul Smith Carnival rug. Its colours are bright and playful contrasting with the muted colours of the cityscape beyond. We chose brave orange velvet from Lewis and Wood for a contemporary sofa, with bolsters adding character and comfort. The ottoman, upholstered in a rich teal ribbed velvet from Fox Linton, and side chairs, upholstered in Lewis & Wood orange velvet with contrasting backs in Osborne & Little Masque Carnival, are a bespoke design by Lucy Marsh Interiors, commissioned for this scheme. Contrasting back fabrics adding layers of textural interest to tie in with the Paul Smith’s rug.
