BIG VIEWS , BRIGHT HUES
AND A RICH ASSORTMENT OF ART
Design studio , Angel O ’ Donnell , creates an interior that echoes the vibrancy , artistry and culture of London .
Angel O ’ Donnell were tasked with interior designing a large penthouse in The Dumont , on London ’ s Albert Embankment . As their client loves art , colour , pattern and texture , the studio made sure that each room was treated to a fertile mix of tactile materials , handcrafted furniture and carefully curated art .
Everything from hand thrown ceramics to specially commissioned acrylics made it into their scheme . “ We even found room for an African ceremonial crown ”, says Co-Founder and Creative Director , Ed O ’ Donnell .
Many standout pieces were designed in-house , including wool bouclé swivel chairs , jewel-toned velvet sofas , plushly padded upholstered walls and a bronzeclad fireplace . As fellow Co-Founder and Managing Director , Richard Angel , affirms , “ This level of detail creates those surpriseand-delight moments we always want for our clients ”.
THE SHARDS
The team started with the principal bedroom . They wanted it to feel cosy and cocooning ; a colourful sanctuary filled with warm throws , soothingly plump pillows and reassuringly heavy sheets .
British oil painter , Tate Gall , inspired the rhomboidal shapes for the upholstered wall . In fact , his vibrant geometric shards – reminiscent of shattered stained-glass windows – prompted the bold and enlivening palette used throughout the apartment .
