Tucked away in a historic mews courtyard in the heart of London’s Mayfair
district, the lounge interior balances the Art Deco references
with the 1960s & 70s Modernism.
The focal point of the spacious lounge is the grand undulating fireplace
located beneath the linear skylight.
Che Huang and Alexy Kos of Child Studio :
“This fireplace was designed to bring a sense of scale and permanence
to the space. It is amazing to see how its soft geometry responds to
the shifts in lighting throughout the day”
Che Huang and Alexy Kos :
“The inspiration for this project came from Yves Saint Laurent’s Grand Salon
at Rue de Babylone in Paris. We were interested in finding an authentic design
language for this project, balancing the Art Deco references
with the 1960s & 70s Modernism”
Che Huang and Alexy Kos :
“The spacious Living Room is a social space where the guests can convene
in a warm and relaxed environment. Here, we assembled a mix of collectable
20th-century furniture pieces, complemented by an eclectic collection
of sculptures, heirlooms and art books, contributing to the
effortless and lived-in atmosphere.”
Child Studio :
“There is a subtle shift in atmosphere between the spacious lounge and
the more intimate adjacent rooms, but the whole place is unified through
the crafted woodwork detailing and warm materiality”
Child Studio :
“The material palette of this room draws inspiration from the modernist
Villa Muller by Adolf Loos. The combination of dark Mahogany wood,
patterned marble and green upholstery feels so chic, yet warm and unpretentious”
The artworks include antique lithographs by George Braque,
Jean Cocteau and Karel Appel and photographs by Guy Bourdin and Man Ray.
