the odd duck design

Client: Uma Nota

The designer's ethereal and sculptural approach captures Brazil’s raw and uninhibited nature, represented by a real preserved tree with intricate silk leaves, gracefully suspended at the heart of the double height space.

The private-dining rooms, Tropicalia and Meiji, showcase their unique identities and multifunctional space-planning. Tropicalia draws inspiration from the Brazilian movement that redefined 1970s counterculture, with a corner dedicated to music enthusiasts featuring original vinyls, curvaceous forms and pink hues. Meiji, on the opposite side, is adorned with bespoke wallcovering shimmering in rich blues and gold leaf accents. A whimsical marble communal table and velvet mustard sofas frame the space.
