Antique Fireplaces

Both a gallery and a residence, an Antwerp home redefines the boundaries between public and private, art and interior design.

Wenes incorporated artful furnishings into the private spaces: In the living room, a leather chair by Maarten Van Severen is beneath a lamp by his son, Hannes Van Severen, of design duo Muller Van Severen.

This was my favorite single space in the hotel—a lounge with a big marble fireplace, gilt mirror, and weathered wooden floor boards.
