Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts 2009
The scheme of the Tea House was built around the vivid colors of the pond’s koi carps. We opted for a shade of teal for the walls which we believe symbolizes water. The oranges, the golds and the hints of copper used in the numerous textiles, the furnishings, the art were all inspired by the carps. We were fortunate that many of Tony Duquette’s re-edited textiles worked wonderfully with our scheme.
