"The house is like a constantly changing set," he says. Functional and Creative Kaffe's visually rich rooms don't exist for aesthetics only. They first and foremost must be hard-working, and each furnishing must pull its weight. Harmony, Not Perfection "I am always looking for harmony in imperfect juxtapositions," Kaffe says. "Mixtures bring life to the color schemes." Beautiful photos throughout Take a visually stunning private tour of Kaffe's home and studio, then enjoy a museum retrospective of Kaffe's work from the Minneapolis Institute of Fine Art, photographed exclusively for this book.
