Scandinavian style, White Living Room with Custom-made Plywood Corner Bookcase
A Scandinavian style white living room with a custom made, poplar plywood, corner bookcase.
The bookcase is full height on one wall and then turns the corner and runs at head height along the other wall. It is divided into proportioned square and rectangular apertures with plain plywood doors covering some of the apertures. It is styled with design magazines, interior design books, a glass of herbal tea and a pair of black reading glasses, a black and white sketch picture in a black frame, a fine leaved trailing plant and some fiction books.
To the right of the bookcase is a 1970’s black and chrome, industrial style floor lamp standing on a small plywood plinth. Under the bookcase against the white wall is a 1975 black metal and dark grey upholstered Knoll sofa designed by Andrew Ivar Morrison and Bruce Hannah. The sofa rests on a dark grey marl, woven, wool rug on a grey washed oak floor.
The classic design pieces in strong greys and blacks contrast with the warmer natural European Poplar plywood. The rug adds a textural element.
The ceiling has old wooden beams painted white. Daylight falls through a door to the right.
