My recent travels to Venice, Italy inspired several design elements within the room. The attention to color and detail in each palazzo, museum, and church was simply mesmerizing. I wanted each visitor to the Breakfast Room , whether it be in real life or virtually, to experience the same feeling that I felt while visiting Venice. There are a number of delightful details at every turn, whether you look up, down, left or right. The compact size likens the room to a jewel box. The rich jewel tones, hand-blown glass, and dynamic play of design elements add to the illusion of a jewel box. This image from the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice was the inspiration behind the glass curtain that we used.
Almost floor to ceiling paned windows stretch from one end of the room to the other on two walls. We commissioned a Murano glass curtain especially for the space. Not only does it gently obscure the outdoors, but it also helps to keep the viewer’s eye focused within the room while still allowing light through the window.
