54 www.incollect.com Pappas Miron Design The Citron Salon The jumping-off point for this sophisticated salon came with the selection of a 1915 Savonnerie floral-patterned Arts & Crafts carpet, which the designers layered atop checkerboard flooring. Burnished and waxed lime plaster walls shimmer softly with reflections from filtered sunlight and the warm glow of Murano glass sconces. The bold and piquant pop of a citron velvet built-in sofa makes an unforgettable focal point. “It’s like a burst of sunshine indoors,” remarked designer Alexandra Pappas. Left of the sofa is a sculptural Japanese paper lamp from Ingo Maurer, and on the right, a monumental cobalt blue Chinese urn lamp. In the center of the seating group, a black iron and glass cocktail table pays homage to Diego Giacometti’s coveted and costly 1970s cast bronze “Berceau” table. The cool, classic Palm Beach décor combination of chrome and white leather makes an appearance here in a pair of vintage 1970s Saporiti ‘Onda’ cantilevered lounge chairs.
