Living Room

Naturally, the Venezuelan couple wanted to have plenty of room for guests at the new vacation home they were planning in the Dominican Republic. After all, they had children and grandchildren, and, as leading figures in their country's political and philanthropic communities, the pair wanted to create a place that was truly an inviting destination for their wide social circle.

The living room's sofa and armchairs are by Century Furniture, and the large-scale photograph is by Ruud van Empel; the cocktail table and spherical iron light fixture were designed by Montoya, the bookcase and bar table were purchased locally, and the custom seagrass rug is by ABC Carpet & Home.
