The lowdown

High ceilings can be tricky to live with
in a space that requires a cosy, tactile
appeal. Ligne Roset’s solution is to
concentrate on carving out an area

barely taller than the sofa. Definition
is created by low wooden panelling,
which runs the full length of the
room, starkly contrasting with the
blanched walls. The eye is drawn to
everything below this line: the sunset
palette of the textured rug, the baby-
pink Hudson sofa, and the built-in
shelving packed with books are easier
to process when only a third of the
space is in focus. The approach is then
emphasised even further by the trio of
pendants, serving as arrows pointing in
a downward direction. Sofa from

shelving and a low coffee table, all featuring the same print in a limited black,
white and red scheme, make sense of the bold modular seating and the layers
of cushions (to compensate for the lack of back support), and help integrate
the shapes into the rest of the room. From
