We went with a soothing sea foam green for the walls, mixed with neutral, cool colors for the modern furniture.

The style is best described with neo-romantic, but in Ankes application of it, it becomes an even younger, fresher edge.

Amadori is currently very interested in myths, legends, and mystical symbols and wanted to create magical rooms (in the traditional sense) full of life and a rich diversity: “You are invited to spend a night at the King's Court. The King and Queen have gathered their magicians, jesters, fortune-tellers and other mystical courtiers to greet you. Blue represents the King's Court and is associated with trust, loyalty and honesty. Also it is the colour of the sky and the deep sea, which suggest infinite freedom.” Designed by Birgit Amadori.
