This bedroom pursues elegant sensuality through a study on materiality and form. Softness is
met with flexibility polished finishes are paired diffused lighting and transparency. And the
ocean is drawn in through the tufted ecru-velvet window-alcoves.

Raw, whitewashed tongue-and-groove wood cladding climbs two of the four walls and then
gradually "unzips" beginning at the far corner revealing a rich pattern of handcrafted layers
of alabaster-colored leather and patent leather. Suggestive of the elegant simplicity of Italy
in the 1950s, a series of vintage Italian photos from the same period artfully complement the
understated glamour of the room.

Atop six hexagonal jute rugs and aligned with the oceanfront windows, floats a Bluarch-
designed and engineered bed, boasting a construction of solid maple rods anchoring the
bed, and 36" flexible maple rods forming the supple headboard with plush golden-toned
pillows for additional comfort. Simple bedding of white and cream linen with caramel fox
and coyote throw pillows were custom designed. The 1950s whimsical Italian Stilnovo multi-
lamp chandelier crowns the floating bed.

A Bluarch-design, the womans maple vanity is organic in form countering the vertical wall
cladding and is accented with a backlit Midcentury circular mirror and balancing antique
brass floor lamps at either corner of the bedroom. The closet is lacquered in a sensual, full
red. White silk lingerie is hung on lace-adorned hangers.

This bedroom was a temporary showcase.
