The lamps are from the Italian firm Flos, while the chairs are Pottery Barn. The appliances are all high end from various manufacturers. The antique Oriental rug, seat cushions, and herbal topiaries add splashes of color to the palette, which is firmly grounded and warmed by the cherry-stained oak flooring.
