I nspiration: The current rage for the ancient game of mahjong helped spark a serene retreat honoring Asian artistry and the glamour of 1930s Shanghai. Within its shimmering moiré silk walls are treasures such as a 1927 carved chair from Pagoda Red and vintage Paolo Gucci skyscraper lamp. Rife with geometric Art Deco details, this decidedly sexy and sculptural nook is anchored by a Brigitte fossilized stone table from Made Goods, topped with an Hermès Macao mahjong set of engraved mahogany — a luxurious take on the captivating game of chance.
