Salons Brimming with Objets d’art
Designer Michael Aiduss referenced insouciant French interiors from the 1920s to ’60s to inform the living room, which he rooted in classicism. “The room feels as if a generation of beautiful, collected objects has casually made its way here,” explains the designer, who confidently pairs a monumental 18-foot-long Chinese black lacquer screen alongside a Karl Springer coffee table next to audacious chairs upholstered in a Radziwillian tiger pattern. Quiet strié walls in commanding stone gray—and edged in indigo—by decorative painter Barry Martin put the assembled-over-time arrangement at ease. “There’s a sense of serene luxury here that I think matches how people live today,” says Aiduss.
