The renovation of this corner retail space for the luxury men’s shoe store, Leffot, began with an unusual idea for displaying shoes – a dining table. In the center of the space sits a hand crafted ash dining table. Hanging above the table is a chandelier delicately constructed as an organic metal bramble of branches. As first glance the space appears saturated with black but a closer look reveals subtle variations in the sheen and patterns. As light enters from the boxed out southern exposure, the refinements become more apparent. A glossy ebony branch wallpaper pattern rises out of classic black painted wainscot panels. Various shades of inky blacks provide a dramatic backdrop to the modern white slip-covered furniture. The playful dialogue between modern and traditional effectively creates a bold yet serene backdrop for the main star – the shoes.
