“... the rooms which have really appealed to my imagination have been ships’ cabins, log cabins, monks’ cells, or—although I have never been to Japan—the tea-house.” * When author Bruce Chatwin settled on a flat at Eaton Place, Belgravia, he knew exactly who he wanted to guide the process of transformation: John Pawson. “The architect had lived and worked in Japan. He is the enemy of Post-Modernism and other asinine architecture. He knows how wasteful Europeans are of space, and knows how to make simple, harmonious rooms that are a real refuge from the hideousness of contemporary London. I told him I wanted a cross between a cell and a ship’s cabin.” * The author sits on a tubular chair at his folding card table beneath a Peruvian parrot-feather hanging. The French canapé, which came from the apartments of Empress Marie Louise at Versailles, signed by the firm Jacob-Desmalter, he found at Christies. The table is by Alvar Aalto. * Photography by François Halard, 1984. * #brucechatwin #writershome #eatonplace #belgravia #londonflat #livinginlondon #londonauthor #johnpawson @johnpawson #minimalism #classicmodern #jacobdesmalter #empressmarielouise #versailles #alvaralto #peruvianart #1980sdesign #1980sinterior https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRQgrDJNjD/?igshid=1pkgo0j507n1z
