Sketchbook: Black

Metropolitan to the max — it's hip, edgy and yes, even a bit lofty. Black, of course, is the color of choice. Add in wire detailing, dark finishes and carefully chosen accents, and it's a room for entertaining and extreme enjoyment. Laser-sharp silhouettes come into focus in a superbly slick ode to the joys of minimalism. 
All prices are suggested retail.
