These totally hip homeowners love mid-century modern design. Since this dining area is open to the kitchen, we added the silver leaf wallcovering to bring the feeling of the stainless steel appliances into this room. We knew this room will potentially have food and drink disasters, so the Knoll chairs are covered in a very durable and chic chocolate brown metallic vinyl, and we used carpet tiles which can be easily replaced if stained. The custom walnut and chrome table expands to seat 12; we designed the custom sofa at right to be used as a split banquet in such instances. The hand-woven mohair drapery completes the room, and is a warm contrast to the silver leaf wall.
Karen Hi. I was wondering if you have any more images of the table? It seems in line with what I am looking for, but having a hard time finding. I didn't see any further details on your website. Perhaps something similar could be designed for us? Im in Cleveland. Thanks, Karen
Darren Bezdek Hi, The chair is the Saarinen Executive Armchair. Can't place the stool but if you wanted something that coordinated, you may want to take a look at the Saarinen Womb Ottoman. FYI, both are on Sale (15% off) starting Feb 25, 2013 at YLiving. Links are below.
Sheila Schmitz That beautiful wall is covered in silver leaf! Click the "More Info" link under the photo to read the designer's description of this space.
BTW, here's an ideabook that showcases using silver leaf in different interior applications:
Like the rug. - I'm ready to move into a small home in a small town living near my daughter and family. It's clean, it's cute. But newly installed carpet is brown, and I hate brown carpet. However, I see this picture, and because the room is small, perhaps coverning the ugly brown carpet (yes ugly in my mind), with this beige rug might work. I can't spend a lot of money, but help. I have white furniture. . .I have a teak wood dining table. I could do wonderful things, but I don't want to be depressed over a brown carpet that I might be able to cover. I am extremely visual. I need pictures. But I do like what you've done here. Thank you. »
Bring texture to the walls. A variation of the silver leaf wall treatment from the previous picture, this treatment brings dimensionality to the walls using several shades of silver leaf layered on top of one another. The depth created using this technique is subtle and elegant for this mid-century inspired space.
Because of its successful combination of form and function, the chair won the Museum of Modern Art Award and the West Germany Federal Award for Industrial Design in 1969.
Alternate stripe orientation in a checkerboard pattern. This area rug is composed of tiles that have a light striped grain running through them, and the vertical and the horizontal have been arranged in a checkerboard. The subtle pattern of straight lines and squares grounds this mid-century inspired room.
Silver leaf. The juxtaposition of this silver leaf wallcovering with mid-century furnishings contemporizes the space with a glamorous touch.
