"The Place of Comfort" - Space/Place Project by KEVIN




This is a tranquil space which we view from a high angle, as though we are a delicate trinket on the shelf. I think it may be Rococco inspired. It is a dining room with dark walls and curtains which appear to be lace and brocade. The simple light fixture is the single light source.

THe furniture includes a table, chairs, and cabinet. The dining table with a white tablecloth has a glass top, to protect it from stains. The chairs are solid yet delicate because of their swirling pattern. The cushions are built into the chair and their tone is similar to the wall.

The tall cabinet matches the chairs, contains glassware and the formal teacups. In the corner of a room is a pedastal with a plant.

THis plant adds a touch of life to the quiet room. The darker colors make the room more formal than the lace and the white tablecloth would otherwise. Yet the glass top and the sturdiness of the chairs make the room seem like it would be a welcoming place to serve a meal.

This dining room is very unified through a careful combination of functional items and decorative touches. The ornate features are contrasted with simplicity in the solid color of the walls and floor and tablecloth, which gives the room a peaceful balance.
