The open-plan configuration of this apartment means the dining furniture will be seen from the far end of the living space, so it’s important that it looks perfect. The table and chairs are beautifully bold in black, but their clean lines prevent them looking heavy. For variety, a comfortable classic armchair stands at each of the table, chosen for its sinuous shape and open design, which allows long sight lines from the living space through to the far wall. The gorgeous fireplace is complemented by an oversized convex mirror, a real statement piece in striking black, but these dark accents are softened by luxurious curtains in dusky pink teamed and gauzy white drapes which give privacy without blocking light.
