An "eclectic" apartment

Furnishing by combining different styles and objects

Layout

Apartment with a fully-mirrored and octagonalshaped entrance hall, from which branch out the rooms of the apartment. I added ancient furnishings, famous design pieces, and others designed by myself, mixing very different eras, from the early XIX empire candelabras to a 1950’s bookcase.

First version

Second version

Entrance hall

The entrance hall has octagonal shape with mirror walls to reflect other rooms and create illusionistic effects:

My design of an Art Deco table inspired to the works by Ruhlmann;
a Deco style silver vase designed by myself;
ancient chinese prints

If in the first version the walls were covered with mirrors, in the second one I transformed it into a “Chinese gazebo” also to enhance the collection of ancient Chinese prints.
