Modern Tribal Influences
A second home ideal for visiting grandparents on Chicago’s Gold Coast.
-
My clients wanted simple, sophisticated elegance in their master bedroom, with splashes of vibrant red. -
Suspended in front of the upholstered accent wall, urban modern pendants supply a bit of industrial edge with their cage-like metal frames. -
Lifted off the floor on an open frame, this modern chest presents a lighter profile. -
The contemporary black and red artwork inspired the color palette. -
The king-size bed is all about texture, from the tufted leather headboard to the velvet patterned pillow and the quilted bedding. -
Urban modern, metal pendants over the island and dining table bring industrial-esque influence to the kitchen. -
Anchoring the living room is a sofa from Duralee . -
Window treatments with a modern tribal influence frame the lofty urban views outside the windows. -
The geometric rug hints at the angles and peaks of the Chicago skyline beyond the windows. Bright colors, including the orange tufted poufs from CAI Designs beckon everyone to step inside and relax.
A pied-a-terre full of color and personality
Located in Chicago’s Gold Coast, this condo is a home away from home for empty nesters who frequently visit Chicago. For their second pied-a-terre, we worked within the footprint of the space to create an urban-modern vibe with exciting modern tribal influences and a dash of whimsy because our clients wanted luxurious furnishings and finishes to put everyone in a laid-back vacation mood.
We repurposed furnishings from the previous condo, using them in a fresh, imaginative way to give this condo its own personality. In keeping with their upscale-casual lifestyle, this husband and wife wanted modern, clean lines and a luxurious “put your feet-up” feeling. They love to entertain and wanted a space to accommodate visits from their two grown children and four grandchildren. They are not afraid of color – and neither are we. Their gracious lifestyle and open-door policy to friends and family was the jumping-off point for the warm vibe that permeates the residence.

Textural black artwork doubles as an architectural detail in this master bedroom. The fabric on the armchair adds a subtle hint of animal print to the tribal modern design throughout the condo. -
Delicate sheers in shades of red and grey enliven the space with geometric pattern. -
Mid-century modern dining chairs mingle comfortably with an urban-industrial fixture and embroidered window treatments with a modern tribal influence. Pickled ash floors provide a light, simple canvas for the rest of the furnishings. -
In this powder, my clients express their love for dogs.
