Incollect Magazine - Issue 3

Issue 3 28 www.incollect.com Jean Liu Design Jean Liu Design’s “warm, modern, and dramatic” scheme for the grand foyer came to life with an array of impressive contemporary artisan works, opening with Québec design studio Larose Guyon’s jewelry-like handmade Coco lighting fixture in the entrance hall, so-named in reference to the ropes of pearls Coco Chanel habitually wore. Fluted white-oak millwork and sepia-toned floral wall panels formed a neutral backdrop, flowing into the grand foyer where the “wow factor” appeared, in Mexico-City-based artist Emma Boomkamp’s 13+ foot macrame sculpture. Installed in the curve of the staircase, it fulfilled the designer’s vision for “a statement piece, . . . something bold and unexpected.” A Rick Owens Single Prong Camel ottoman was companioned by a graphic Anemone rug from Atelier Agahzadeh and a Breccia Alba side table by Belgian designer Michaël Verheyden.
