TOUCH AND TEXTURE

The arm chairs in the living room are upholstered in a fabric created by Lori called Roulette, while the coffee tables were bought at Manhattan home decor shop ABC Carpets & Home. A series of woodcuts by Pamela Smilow add character to the kitchen.

客廳扶手椅鋪上Lori設計的Roulette布藝，咖啡桌則從曼哈頓家飾店ABC Carpets & Home購得。一系列Pamela Smilow的木作品為廚房注入個性。 firm Ike Kligerman Barkley gave the bedroom of Lori’s two daughters – Sophie (12) and Emma (14) – a recent refresh.
