“If you go home with somebody, and they don't have books, don't fuck them.”

--- John Waters

Opulence Spatially Defined

This is the home the Kardashians would want if they had real money. But, alas, the owner of this apartment in Amsterdam, the Netherlands has the kind of money that could book Kim to wear a diamond bikini and collect coats at the door of a Sweet 16 party hosted at this place; and when you have that kind of money, you can hire Marcel Wanders to give you custom made EVERYTHING. This particular space features hand-carved wood paneling, custom plasterwork, Bisazza tile, hand-laid floors in Wenge, Walnut and Afromasia and custom furniture from appointment only showrooms and the designer himself. And, clearly, that’s just scratching the surface of the luxuriousness we’re talking about here.

Marcel Wanders is the type of designer that architecture professors and scholars hate, but none of those people have ever snorted medical grade cocaine off of a hand polished titanium ANYTHING while Russian models hold their drink. We’re not suggesting that Mr. Wanders has either, but that’s happening right now in at least one of his spaces, promise. That’s not an indictment; there is just something about the opulence and theater of Mr. Wanders’ interiors that literally demands you submit to the indulgences of the design.
