DIFFA’S DINING BY DESIGN 2013

The shelving provides an architectural element to display Madame’s collection. Square shelves are replicated in the square shapes of the custom-designed acrylic dressing table and dining cubes. Custom-designed chaise, cushions and bench add a contrasting soft texture.

The shoes in the dressing table add depth, color and a sense of fun.
