Living room of Argamán designed by Ruba Tannous, with a linear fireplace set into a walnut media wall and blue velvet armchairs

Argamán

Navy velvet and walnut — a home that means business

THE CONCEPT

A residence built around a deep navy velvet headboard with gold channel trim that sets the home's tone: bold, composed, and uninterested in subtlety. The kitchen is a wall of walnut with a black stone island and hanging herb gardens.

The living room pairs cognac leather with navy armchairs against a walnut fireplace wall. A curved staircase with geometric black steel railings anchors the entrance beneath clusters of cacti and a rattan floor lamp.

Signature Detail
