Designed by Maestri Studio for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas, Le Salon de Musique is a culturally layered entertaining space that channels the grandeur of eighteenth-century France and the tranquility of East Asian aesthetics. Inspired in part by Eddie Maestri鈥檚 transformative visit to the Ch芒teau de Gudanes, the room pays homage to a time when music, conversation, and opulence flowed freely through lavish salons.
Maestri鈥檚 design weaves these influences into a fresh, contemporary expression. An Eastern-inspired palette of rusts, ochres, and neutrals flows through the space, introduced through curated textiles and grounded by a hand-tufted rug. Cherry blossom鈥搇ike forms in the pendant light, paired with refined materials from Asia and Europe, deepen the atmosphere of serenity and intention.
Vibrant wall coverings infuse the room with movement and boldness, balanced by quiet geometric furnishings and layered window treatments. Art Deco鈥搃nspired elements鈥攁 custom metal fireplace screen, curved burlwood wall panels, and brass accents鈥攏od to the Jazz Age and its spirit of luxurious entertaining. These details don鈥檛 just decorate; they amplify the space鈥檚 purpose as a music lounge designed for gathering and relaxation.
At its heart is the Arcana by Maestri mantel, carved from solid stone. Like the room itself, it balances simplicity with strength, reflecting the studio鈥檚 philosophy of architectural clarity and lasting impact.
Le Salon de Musique is more than a showcase鈥攊t鈥檚 a refined intersection of cultural memory and modern artistry. From ch芒teau to cherry blossom, it speaks to the way design can transcend borders and time periods, creating a space as inviting as it is inspired.
