Contemporary Furniture: Saying More with Less
A subtle richness, not an obvious beauty, is most important in contemporary furniture design — Giorgio Armani
A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to an exclusive cocktails party thrown by my company’s CEO at his 5-bedroom villa. Now, not that I was planning to buy his house, but I could not help gazing around and soaking in the richness of the decor. I could tell it was unique and startling, and it took me a few moments to define how: it was the marriage of style and comfort!
