To create what she calls a multi-hyphenate room, Howell nixed the typical tiered banks of cushy, theater-style seats. Instead, she designed a custom sofa, ottoman and coffee table, which played nicely with two 1960s Swedish leather armchairs that she found in Amsterdam. To bring the chairs in line with the rest of the decor, she had the cushions re-covered in a new fabric. The seating area is grounded by a rare Mahal hunting rug that Howell estimates was woven sometime between 1900 and 1910.
But like any good film, rooms need strong main characters. In this one, it’s the integrated bar, dominated by a backsplash of a blue-green Italian stone called Azul Mary.“I found that slab of marble, and I just felt so in love with it,” Howell says. As did the client. “So I said, ‘Let’s just take this completely up the wall and make it this beautiful art piece.’ ”
