Three apertures, one mirror, three lamps. The room is a light instrument.
An east window opens the day, a diffused skylight carries midday, and a west window with an antiqued mirror opposite extends the afternoon by nearly an hour. After dark only three warm sources are used, each on its own dimmer.

Pale plaster, mirror-polished stone, sheer linen. Surfaces that report the hour.
The floor is polished to a near-mirror so it changes character completely between midday and dusk. Plaster is kept almost white and left matt as the control surface. Linen is unlined so it glows rather than blocks.

Low and wide, so nothing interrupts the light crossing the room.
Sofa backs stay at 620mm and the long table is the only tall element in the plan. Furniture is held away from all three apertures, which is what allows the light to travel the full depth of the room uninterrupted.

Ivory bouclé everywhere, ash where a frame must show.
A single ivory bouclé runs across two sofas, ten chairs and a pair of swivel armchairs, so the room has one tone and the hour supplies the rest. Alabaster lamps are the only objects; there is no art on any wall except the mirror.
