Incollect Magazine - Issue 3

Issue 3 78 www.incollect.com Ken Fulk, it is often said, doesn’t just create interiors, he creates experiences. The atmosphere in this San Francisco dining room designed for his tech-entrepreneur clients is palpable — timeless, edgy and borderline mystical. The walls achieved their mesmerizing depth with a drenching in 20 coats of intensely pigmented peacock blue lacquer, including the ceiling, to reflect the ever-changing scenery of San Francisco Bay. A suite of antique Chippendale Gothic chairs encircles the dining table, and a large antique mahogany cutlery urn tops a faux-marbre painted column. An overscale moody landscape amplifies the romantic ambiance, sided by a pair of gilt-bronze rope twist sconces, their lyrical delicacy a contrast in this bold setting.
