A view from the playroom into one of the children's bedrooms. A curated selection of Farrow & Ball vibrant colors was presented to both younger members of the family. The beautiful color selected for this bedroom wall is Oval Room Blue. The two bedrooms also show off one of our all time favorite ceiling fixtures - the Jasper Morrison designed Glo Ball by Flos. We are smitten with quality of light, from full on to fully dimmed, that comes from this deceivingly understated fixture.

Produced in 1948, the Ball Clock’s playful colors speak to the nation’s optimism and the scientific potential of the era. But the shape—reminiscent of an atom—also carries the shadow of atomic warfare, which haunted the national psyche during the Atomic Age.
