Product Description

The effect of that unity was achieved through the architect’s repeated use of geometrical motifs on the windows, the walls, the floors and the surfaces of furniture pieces, all of which were created especially for the rooms of the house.

There was a sense of aesthetic unity where individual items were emphasized, indeed the Victorian domestic interior was not conceived as a single visual entity but rather as an accumulation of artefacts.

The space he created featured arches, the forms of which were repeated in stencilled patterns on the walls and in the arms of the chairs he positioned within the space and suddenly the sense of aesthetic unity was there.
