INTERIORS This bright, airy dining room beautifully illustrates Jonathan’s design sensibility. A Saarinen table surrounded by modern dining chairs tops a geometric wool rug. The furnishings illustrate Saarinen’s philosophy of keeping the underside of the table clean and uninhibited, allowing the subtle color and pattern of the floorcovering to become a focal point. A contemporary nickel chandelier from the Rico Espinet Collection from Robert Abbey serves as the crowning glory. The satin nickel finish pulls in the nickel bases of the dining chairs and mimics the table base. By using traditional globe bulbs, the chandelier becomes an accessory instead of stealing the focus from other elements. FEBRUARY MARCH 2015 15
