Contemporary Living Room, Toronto

The front living room is double-height but from the front exterior the fenestration is consistent with the other houses in the row. The windows are painted aluminum, and triple glazed. They can easily be covered in Toronto's blazing summer heat, by full length electric blinds. The Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair is recovered in vibrant orange wool. The proud brass lions were picked up in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The flooring throughout the house is slate. Painting: Canadian painter, Tony Urquhart; coffee table: Barcelona, Mies van der Rohe
