House Call: Gritty Glamour in London by Julie

Issue 3 · Efficient Entryways · January 21, 2011

London-based furniture gallerist and designer Rabih Hage came up with the term Rough Luxe to describe a history-based design approach that defines luxury as "a moment in time" and celebrates peeling paint and rough-hewn surfaces. This London house, spotted on 1st Options, exudes an exemplary gritty glamour; we especially like the modern stainless kitchen and the bath painted shimmery silver (see Palette & Paints: Ralph Lauren Regent Metallics Paint).
