The Lounge features architectural paneling and a modillion cornice, providing a Neoclassical backdrop for vibrant colors and contemporary art and décor. A dramatic light fixture, echoing the sunburst motif introduced in the foyer, floats above the space, while Mid-Century-inspired sconces are integrated seamlessly into the richly painted wood paneling. A custom fireplace mantel carved from three blocks of Nero Marquina stone with an Art Deco motif, sits deeply in
the wall, making an extension of the hearth beyond the fireplace surround unnecessary. Gilded antique chairs are paired with a modern curved sofa and vintage Donghia chairs. At the room’s center is a handcrafted brass and sodalite cocktail table and art piece by Belgian designer, Yann Dessauvages. (Photo Credit: Julie Soefer) Julie Soefer
