A study in elegance and restraint, this renovated mid-century modern residence marries architectural authenticity with curated comfort.
Afternoon light drapes itself across the living room, catching the soft sheen of the solid ‘Mvule’ timber wall cladding with cantilevered shelves — each plank a ribbon of warm grain, drawing the eye toward the central, cantilevered mantle that seems to float effortlessly above the fireplace. An unidentical pair of our low-slung Chic sofas upholstered in Warwick velveteen green fabric and sitting on solid ‘Mvule’ legs embraces the room, their gentle texture playing against the playful grain of our Sixties Lounge Chairs in solid ‘Palm’ with cushions upholstered in genuine tan leather.
The air carries the faint aroma of oiled ‘Camphor’ in the form of our Duara coffee tables, a quiet reminder of craftsmanship made to last. Even in stillness, the room seems alive — a space where wood, fabric, and light conspire to make you linger just a little longer.
Between the living room and stepped-up dining room rests a fixed, double-sided console in solid ‘Mvule’ whose warm grain is accentuated by the indirect LED lighting that washes either side of the console. On the living room side, the very inviting wines and liquor reveal themselves in the promise of scintillating conversation. On the dining room side, sliding doors with machined Brass recessed knobs, conceal exquisite cutlery and crockery for those special dinners. The shared top runs the length of the console, displaying objects as if they were curated memories.
The dining room itself feels like a moment suspended between eras — the past’s promise and the present’s comfort. Our Obiti dining table is solid ‘Elgon Teak’ glows softly under the ambient halo of a constellation-like pendant lamp, while our meticulously hand-sculpted Dining Chairs in solid ‘Mvule’ offer both comfort and support. Here, conversation is unhurried, the clink of glass and the rustle of linen napkins set against the quiet elegance of the space.
Wrapped in warm timber and mid-century charm, this home, re-designed by Studio Mehta, is a masterclass in effortless sophistication, where every detail is designed to make you linger.
