CONSIDER DETAILS

‘Brass and golden finishes give each room a ping. They are the jewellery of the house,’ says Hubert. ‘It’s all to do with the glint they create in the eye – the same as you get from the flicker of a candle or the reflection in a mirror. It brings a room to life.’ The jewel in this dark, dramatic library is a brass wall sculpture by Curtis Jeré, which is teamed with a 1970s French coffee table and a sculpture by Brazilian artist Barrão. The sofa and rug are designs by Hubert Zandberg Interiors.
