The clients had been
in their Craftsman home for about a year. They were now ready to
revitalize the interior and incorporate their contemporary sense of
style into their home. Since both husband and wife are well versed in
the visual arts, they were willing to think creatively. We were asked to
design custom built-in furniture pieces to showcase their art and their
library. For their 130 sq. ft. library/reading room immediately to the
right of the entrance foyer, our designer proposed using Piet Mondrian,
an early 20th century artist and leading Bauhaus thinker, as a style
reference. The couple told our designer “we love color, uncluttered
clean lines, and we’re looking for an original way to display items
we’ve collected around the world over the years.” Our designer started
sketching wall elevations based on principles developed by Mondrian. The
couple was intrigued and felt it was a perfect solution to their tastes
and needs.
