Personal retreats · The collectors’ club
Worn leather, vinyl records and vintage finds.
Create a personal sitting room where collections are enjoyed as well as displayed. Club chairs invite an afternoon with records; a trolley and glasses make room for conversation. Vintage radios, signs and bistro objects add rhythm. Keep unchecked old electrical appliances as display pieces.
