30 DESIGN CHICAGO THE MART designchicagomag.com The team at Christie Hines Designs transformed a formerly little-used sitting room into a music room to give the homeowner a fresh space to play and entertain. The talented family of musicians, including several guitarists, singers, pianists, and a drummer, needed a space for musical interludes, and to house their over 18 guitars, many passed down from one generation to the next. On the opposite side from this seating area, the design team created a custom guitar case out of rift-sawn white oak. An Omexco wallcovering, through Romo, adds texture. The vintage Thonet armchairs are covered in fabric from Schumacher, and the custom sofa is covered in Kate Spade camel velvet, through Kravet. In Mexico, renowned architecture and interior design firm, Ten Plus Three, created a custom DJ booth for a client’s retro- contemporary home. The stand-alone, custom booth is clad in parchment, with a high-gloss finish and acrylic accents, giving it shine and presence. The lounge is both elevated and welcoming and includes a seating area with lounge chairs from The Bright Group, as well as an eight-seat waterfall bar and an enclosed wine room. photography by stephen karlisch and courtesy of ten plus three
