“We worked closely with the client to create a space that reflected his personality and interests, encompassing art, design, literature, and travel,” Child Studio founders Che Huang and Alexy Kos told Dezeen.

“This approach made us think of Saint Laurent’s salon. An eclectic interior where design objects and art pieces from different eras and parts of the world are assembled, forming a highly personal environment.”

These divide it into a lounge area as well as spaces for dining and studying.

“The material palette of this room draws inspiration from the modernist Villa Muller by Adolf Loos,” the designers said.

Also, Behind the library shelves, Child Studio created a wood-paneled study for the homeowner. The studio aimed to use natural materials throughout the project.

“We enjoy working with natural materials, such as solid wood, stone, and plaster,” Huang and Kos said.

“Child Studio often designs custom furniture pieces for projects, and we find that these simple and timeless materials are incredibly versatile and ideal for creating bespoke hand-crafted objects.”
