Art Deco with Egyptian Revival/Neoclassical roots

This large 30 by 40 foot grand living room was defined by the use of three large area rugs- a conversation area to the right, a dining area to the left, and a passageway to the grounds beyond that connected the house. In this luxurious setting, this end of the room features a sofa upholstered in dupioni silk with two chairs in art deco style frames upholstered in pink leopard and custom made feather pillows. Two exotic style ottomans with large scale leopard can be pulled up for extra seating. Notice the unusual pleating-created especially for this project- to emulate the look of lotus buds- a motif used in Egyptian ornamentation. The black pole with god leaf finials keeps the design neoclassical. The three horizontal bands on the leading edge captures the art deco design aesthetic.
