If I had something that resembled “real” money and could even finagle my way past security into the Wright Important Design Auction I’d design a tasteful and very expensive living room.
First I would anchor it with the Nelson Sling Sofa…my dream sofa…
Estimate: $4,000–5,000
I’d need a lovely rug to go with the sofa. Morroccan it is!
Estimate: $5,000–7,000
A fun coffee table could POP off the dark rug. This custom persimmon Paul Laszlo table could work.
Estimate: $5,000–7,000
More seating of course. A pair of William Lescaze armchairs from the Brooklyn Museum of Art have a nice history.
Estimate: $5,000–7,000
Where is all the drama in this room? Oh, here we go. BAM – Gio Ponti chandelier
Estimate: $25,000–35,000
I need some occasional tables to scatter about and brighten up the room. These geometric travertine 70’s tables may do.
Estimate: $5,000–7,000
A 70’s table lamp to go with my 70’s tables? Yes. Arredoluce contrast lamp.
Estimate: $2,000–3,000
I need ceramics accessories. Bruno Gambone
Estimate: $2,000–3,000
and Guido Gambone
Estimate: $1,000–1,500
But where would all my fancy collectibles and books go? The Breuer adjustable bookshelves would do just fine.
Estimate: $20,000–30,000
So all in all, if I got a good deal and only spent the opening bid price I would have spent $74,000 on a living room…thats not even done. I still need a few pieces of art, more accessories and an actual house for it all to go in.
I can’t get this stupid BOLD to go away.
