You can create a “tasty” trendy interior from antique items from different eras, and add modern art as a seasoning. The recipe is from an outstanding decorator. Жака Garsia

Жак Garsia combines the most distant from each other era: the end of the eighteenth century and thread XX. The yellow sofa and the corner locker come from the 18th century, the yellow chair and the metal table lamp are the 70s of the 20th century, the easy-going red chair was born in 1956. Metal panels, also antique, are used as wall panels.

On the wall - Photo of fashion artist Damien Hirst. On a high pedestal - a sculpture carved from a sheet of steel. And since Garsia uses the principle of contrast, then it has its own “pair” - a marble antique bust. High objects here are contrasted with low ones, flat ones with bulk ones, dark ones with light ones.

And what still unites all these things? First, the color: red, yellow, the color of rusty metal and old marble; secondly, the origin is certainly noble; and thirdly, the identity of the decorator.
