Home Tour: Old Department Store to Sleek Loft

The new Loveman's Building has been equipped with modern additions as few remnants of the building's old life remain. Small historical elements pop up now and again, such as the exposed brick walls. The homeowner did not want to mask the historical evidence of the building's past with decor that would compete. Instead, his aim was to find furnishings that would let the structure's history speak. In the breakfast nook, the downtown view and exposed brick wall are the focus. Elegant yet modern transparent chairs are situated around a substantial table. Making use of the clear Thalya Chair from Kartell allowed the dining area to drift away in favor of the view and exposed brick wall - while also adding an element of sleek minimalism.
