King David

Michelangelo's David meets walnut veneer

THE CONCEPT

An apartment where a monumental greyscale David bust print commands the living room wall — setting the tone for a home that treats classical art as furniture. Walnut veneer cabinetry with gold strip accents, white Calacatta marble panels, and a master bedroom anchored by a full-wall classical sculpture photograph prove that bold art and tight floor plans are not opposites.

A sculptural petal ceiling fan adds the one organic gesture against all the hard geometry.

Signature Detail
