{Interior architects Sigrid van Kleef (38) and René van der Leest (40) of Amsterdam’s Studio R U I M had what it took to strike that seemingly impossible balance: Their background in theatre and opera set and costume design, as well as in restoration and interior design of contemporary homes.Their priority was to respect and celebrate the heritage and character of the Herengracht canal house built originally in 1666 for a successful Amsterdam merchant, Abraham Muyssart. I love the use of wood: panelling, staircases, exposed in ceilings and in framing. The kitchen is a particularly cool combination of traditional and modern. The walls are dominated by vast restored paintings depicting views of the river Vecht and framed in their original wood frames.Countering this are the super-modern counters, bench and especially the custom-designed (by Studio RUIM) industrial-scale copper light fixtures.}
{Set inside the Palais de Tokyo – one of the world’s largest museums of modern and contemporary art – is the uber chic new restaurant Monsieur Bleu, designed by renowned Paris based architect, Joseph Dirand.The expansive interior bears the signature pared down sophistication of its designer and whispers of art deco influences. Grounded in Dirand’s preferred monochromatic color scheme of white and black. the massive interior is afforded a modicum of warmth through the injection of brass and bronze colored metals, smoky mirrors, velvet upholstery, and earthy green accents.}
{Got up to get to the office a little early today. Sometimes I’m most productive when no one’s in. Happy Almost Friday!}
