Jason Wu's fame has soared to extreme heights with his recent collections, making him one of the most sought after designers. For this inaugural spread, I am translating his design into a room design of my own. The key elements that will define this space are texture, color and form. A sheepskin rug will mimic the texture of the feathers, while the Farrow & Ball Lotus wallpaper in pink, on an accent wall, will really drive the point home. The staple pieces of the living room will be a Content by Conran sofa upholstered in a Maharam alpaca velvet and a gray marble coffee table that exudes an organic shape. The sofa will be flanked by two Tuberworks glass side tables with Kartell Bourgie lamps in white by Ferruccio Laviani. The Wassily chairs in lime green leather serve as the statement pieces that really turns this dress into a room. The linearness of the green belt from Jason Wu s look can be found in the thin leather straps of the classic designer chair.
