Contemporary Meets Historical

This living room was designed for Casa Cor, a design event held in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil where architects, interior designers and landscape architects team up to design rooms. The 2011 event was held in a 16,000 sq ft mansion called Palacete Linneo de Paula Machado. 

It was designed as an "Art Collectors" living room and as you can see for yourself it's a good mix of modern art with eclectic furniture pieces.
