rus in urbe
Shaun Castle 02 June 2006
Interiors consultant Julian Land has created an inspired Hicksian homage for Pierre Brahm’s high-end rental pied-a-tierre in South Eaton Place, Belgravia. Bringing rus into the urbe, Land merges the antique and modern into a striking aesthetic. A pair of stag antlers are the focal point to a reception room of select Hicks pieces: a chaise longue, two armchairs and sofas. The main bedrooms are decorated in blues, browns and faux fur; the third bedroom, which also serves as a study, luxuriates in reds and pinks. Heavy silk drapes hang upstairs, while in the hallway a red Pierre Frey curtain made up of 80 per cent metal and 20 per cent silk, conceals the lift entrance.
