Space furniture chair, Great Dane Furniture desk lamp and glass vase, custom rug by Kaiko Design Interiors.<\/p>\n
Akin to choosing a favourite child, Kaiko concedes that if he were to pick just one, it would be the library; a sun-drenched space that oozes warmth. \u201cIt was partly inspired by Olafur Eliasson\u2019s Room for One Colour, the 1997 installation in which monofrequency lamps collapse an entire room into a single perceptual field, stripping away everything except one hue,\u201d Kaiko recalls. \u201cThat work appeared in Australia at the MCA in 2010 and stayed with me. What Eliasson achieves with light, we tried to do with surface and material.\u201d Swathed in amber-gold tones, lacquered joinery blends with woven grasscloth on the walls and ceiling; a brown leather office chair from Space Furniture atop a tactile custom rug by Kaiko Design Interiors, all topped off with the retro-adjacent amber cathedral glass panels on the French doors, \u201call reading the same colour but each surface reflecting light differently as the room changes throughout the day.\u201d \u201cThere’s also a beautiful aural quality to the space,\u201d Kaiko continues. \u201cGrasscloth on every wall and the ceiling deadens the sound in a way that makes it feel genuinely private in such a prominent part of the home. It’s the room that most purely captures what we were trying to do across the whole house: intense, considered and completely resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Space furniture chair, Great Dane Furniture desk lamp and glass vase, custom rug by Kaiko Design Interiors.
