Even though only a few furnishings grace these modern spaces, each piece was carefully chosen to make a powerful visual (and functional) impact. There are sleek but inviting chairs for lingering over dessert, a striking artwork or two to spark conversation, and simple centerpieces that let you focus on the delicious dinner in front of you.
