Dare the "Orange" - Osez l'Orange

The Orange is often linked to the 70's
but mixed with some sober materials and furnitures
that changes everything...




My new staging is always based on the contrast, contrast between old pieces and new items.
Brown sofa in leather
Chair in rattan and black leather
Cotton Carpet "mexican style"
Coffee table in black leather
Black wooden console
Cabinet in brown leather
Bench in black leather
And some old pieces (Chofa from Thailand)
On the console, Orange vases in cloisonné by Kenzo Takada,
Black vase in porclaine and straw, 3 wooden sculpturs, black wooden stool and
Black jar in cloisonné by Kenzo Takada.
On the wall, few mirrors in leather and paintings from Thailand.
