Studio Dorion was asked to design a room in the 2022 Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse. In the belief that the smallest rooms can often be the most inviting, a diminutive bedroom on the second floor was chosen. Inspiration for the decoration was found in the design principles of Greek Revival style, in which the 1840s house was built: symmetry, simplicity, and elegance. Utilizing a humble material in a new way, tonal colorways of “chino” cotton envelop the room. This backdrop of beige highlights the collection of Scandinavian furnishings: a Danish modern secretary by Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen; a contemporary steel side table by Jonas Trampedach; and a pewter chandelier showcasing the simple elegance of the Swedish Grace period. Eclectically mixed in are a 70’s lucite table lamp, Vico Magestretti’s “Eclisse” desk lamp, and bronze plaques by the French sculptor Robert Couturier. The totality of the room places the human necessities of comfort, practicality, and beauty at the center—a credo for all projects by Studio Dorion.
