KEEPING ROOM
Robert Brown has designed a chic and sophisticated keeping room imagining a modern couple that is well traveled and appreciates and collects fine art The space also serves as a library for their book collection.
To make the space cozy and cocoon-like he relied on Arte for a sculptured sueded wallcovering to wrap the room. It is engineered over a sound absorbing substrate that cleverly controls the acoustics of the room Its unique pattern emulates fine millwork The tobacco color is the base for a neutral yet interesting color palette accented with jewel tones.
A striking collection of art from one of his favored galleries, Pryor Fine Art, as well as pieces from his atelier Townhouse. An important pair of shagreen chairs from Jim Thompson complement other pieces from friends Jerry Pair and Paul Plus. The Liaigre library table and accessories are from Townhouse. The vintage suede and brass lamps are from one of Brown’s recent buying trips to London.
