The Project

Welcome to Game Night In, a unique entertainment space where past and present harmonize beautifully. Our design merges antique elegance with contemporary furniture, creating an environment that is both nostalgic and innovative, perfect for unforgettable moments.

​

The Client

We partnered with Heritage Auctions, a leader in the auction industry, known for valuing art and craftsmanship. Their new gallery offered the perfect backdrop for an entertaining space that is rooted in modernity and history, making it ideal for hosting events and showcasing collectibles.

​

Inspiration and Our Approach

At the heart of the room is a striking circular sculptural game table, serving as a functional centerpiece and conversation starter, accompanied by a vibrant lounge chair that adds a lively touch to the cozy atmosphere.

 

The backdrop features Michiko Itatani’s celestial art, courtesy of the Jean Albano Gallery and antique carved wood French oak doors from the Golden Triangle, adding historical charm and intimacy. A finely carved 19th-century Pagoda Red altar table introduces reverence, while a four-sided walnut bookcase from Hungary offers storage and a sculptural element.

​

A cozy seating area includes the iconic Togo sofa from Lignet Roset, known for its comfort and style, accented by an antique colored stone coffee table. This design honors antique craftsmanship while embracing modern techniques, creating a space that is both intimate and grand. Every element tells a story, ensuring that Game Night In is not just a space, but an experience.
