Wohnzimmer

Immediately behind the door of this shabbily elegant 'living room' there's a bar-like structure made from an ensemble of kitchen cabinets. Threadbare divans and artsy bar girls make this the perfect place to discuss Dostoevsky with career students over a tepid borscht. Evening light from candelabra reflects on gold-sprayed walls as students and maudlin poets chase brandies with Hefeweizen. Daytimes can be sluggish.
