The Drawing Room

Featured Project
Made On North American (M.O.N.A.) is proud to announce a place in the PSPCA’s annual Dog Haus, a designer showhouse that benefits adoption programs for the charity organization. Located in the historic Chesnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, the home is a Victorian-era beauty with over twenty rooms transformed by some of the region’s top designers.

M.O.N.A.’s space, The Drawing Room, re-interprets the home’s lineage into a surreal, neo-Romantic boudoir with references to 19th-century themes that include decorative lacemaking, silver gelatin print photography, the industrial revolution and classic horror novels, amongst others. In order to highlight the broad capabilities of our professional network, M.O.N.A. produced every single piece of furniture and the larger potion of decorative accessory for this room. Signature items include a white oak tete-at-tete, silver-leafed rocking horse/buggy, electroformed copper fireplace screen and antique settee with handcarved, painted wood and patent vinyl upholstery. A strong axis of half black/half white invites further drama into the space while likewise creating an innovative play of texture and pattern. Intentionally-seasonal with its inspired lighting, achromatic scheme and Gothic influences, The Drawing Room has been hailed by the press and public alike as well as featured on local television stations, in-print, and online.
