“In the generously scaled family room, the clients wanted to create something that was fun, kid-friendly and comfortable, but did not compromise on the design,” says Adler.

“The de Gournay wallpaper in the dining room was custom-colored for the previous client, but the new owners wanted to have fun with the design and add some more vibrant colors to the room,” says Adler. So, Adler sourced a Jacques Adnet bar cabinet and worked with Soane to custom design one of their bar stools into a dining chair, upholstered in a bottle green Moore & Giles leather. The Maison Jansen black-lacquer-and-bronze dining table is offset by branch-and-alabaster dove sconces on the wall and a pair of Barovier & Toso pendant light fixtures.
