Four Colors That Didn't Match, Hung From a Ring of Brass

The room at The Eyrie at Glen Eagle was round and white, and a brass hoop hung at its center as the only light fixture. Into it the designers put four colors that don't usually share a table: deep olive, soft lavender, a hot chili red, and a peach warm enough to pass for gold. They chose not to blend them, and the clash was the point of the design. The pale walls kept the four colors separate, so each one stood out on its own and the whole room had the loose, layered look of a painting.
