With an undeniable street presence outside, inside Martin Friedrich Architects Bolton Ave residence, a grounding palette of warm greys and browns brings this South East Melbourne home down to earth. The heart of the home, and arguable focal point inside, is the double height living area. Opening out onto the pool, the living area required a pair of sofas rather than a modular, to ensure ease of access in and out. Two Felix Sofas were selected thanks to their modern styling, and ability to be appropriated for casual or formal living areas, depending on the selected finishes. Here the clients selected Mokum Ficus; a textural plain that offers a soft, tailored finish suitable for everyday living.

A pair of black, solid timber Nesting Tables sit in the centre of the living area. This tiered design is a flexible option for spaces that need to quickly adapt to surprise visitors and subsequent hosting duties. The tapered solid timber legs, and refined top, makes the Nesting Tables appear light, even when finished in a solid back.

Upstairs in the primary bedroom, clients selected a Harper Bedhead in supple black leather. One of the more tailored bed designs in the Arthur G range, the Harper has a generously proportioned headboard with a quilted finish. Here textures of veneer panelling, brass, marble, leather and linen culminate in a luxurious, hotel-like bedroom.

Receding from the main living area sits our solid Reuben Dining Table; a clean lined, lithe design that offers a place to congregate with family and friends. Reuben – like all Arthur G Dining Tables – is available in a solid Victorian Ash or American Oak construction, with a range of stains to suit most interiors.

The Felix Sofa, Nesting Tables, Harper Bed and Reuben Dining Table are part of the Arthur G core range and available now. Make an enquiry online or visit an Arthur G showroom for more information.
