The Solution
With low seating and an olive green and teal color scheme, designer Lee Snijders coordinates the furnishings to create a streamlined, high-end Asian style. Custom-built benches and tables assure that all the pieces are balanced. Scale is very important in this space; Snijders doesn't want the big pieces to take over or the small pieces to be dwarfed. The lighting situation is also resolved with a more modern, oblong version of the paper lantern.
