Start with an Earthy Neutral Foundation

Layer warm wood paneling, matte charcoal accents and a soft monochrome rug to ground the room without visual clutter.

Let Sculptural Lighting Lead the Conversation

Suspend the iconic Isamu Noguchi Akari 75A Pendant Lamp at the center of your layout. Its paper globe diffuses a gentle glow that doubles as functional lighting and art.

Keep Surfaces Sleek and Functional

Anchor the seating zone with a USM Haller‑style metal coffee table.


Plan Your Flow Like a Pro

Push the round dining table slightly off‑center so chairs slide under easily. Leave at least 36 in of circulation between the sofa and dining chairs. Angle the Jeanneret armchairs toward both the sofa and table to foster conversation in small gatherings.


A restrained color story, iconic silhouettes and thoughtful spacing create a living‑dining combo that feels curated—not crowded. Ready to bring this look home? Click any linked product to shop America‑wide shipping and safety delivery.
