Modern Luxury House Tour in Los Angeles | Metro Polis | Dining Room

Step into the private world of Adrian Cho, a venture capitalist and contemporary art patron, who calls the Metro Polis residence in downtown Los Angeles his home. Spanning 3,487 SF, this modern luxury residence redefines fine living, with a dining room curated as a lifestyle platform featuring Cassina’s Superleggera chairs, the Singapore Sling armchairs, and Roche Bobois’ sculptural Serpentine dining table.

Designed with a vision to balance functionality and aesthetics, the space captures openness, warmth, and refinement. Here, sculptural lighting, natural tones, and structured furnishings create a sanctuary where entertaining guests feels effortless yet elevated.

This residence was envisioned not simply as a luxury living room, but as a living artwork—a bold, sculptural composition that reflects both functionality and emotional resonance. With a budget of USD 154,000 (approx. 200 million KRW), every detail was orchestrated to transcend conventional luxury and embody the cultivated identity of its owner.

Design Story

At its essence, this room is not only for dining but for ritual and connection. Sculptural lighting installations dance with natural daylight, softening the edges of architectural lines and creating layers of atmosphere throughout the day. Minimalist restraint meets organic warmth: honed stone, tactile wood, and subtle linen accents set the tone for elevated gatherings.

Furniture selection was treated as art curation. Cassina’s Superleggera chairs bring architectural lightness, a true icon of Italian design, while the Singapore Sling armchairs offer structured comfort for longer evenings of conversation. Anchoring the space, Roche Bobois’ Serpentine dining table acts as a sculptural centerpiece—its sinuous base and glass top reflecting both modern dynamism and timeless elegance.

Homeowner Q&A

Favorite Element

“The Serpentine table by Roche Bobois—it feels like an art installation. It sparks conversation before the first course is even served.”

Biggest Challenge & Solution

The challenge was balancing minimalist restraint with warmth. By layering tactile materials and incorporating warm-toned lighting, the design avoided austerity and instead embraced hospitality and comfort.

Budget

With a dedicated budget of USD 110,000, 15 pieces of high-end furniture were carefully curated to embody both art and function.

Lifestyle Impact

For Adrian, the dining space is more than a table and chairs—it is a stage for connection and cultural exchange. As a host to global investors and artists, the environment sets the tone: Cassina’s sleek Italian craftsmanship mirrors his appreciation for timeless modernity, while Roche Bobois embodies sculptural boldness.

This dining room transforms ordinary meals into memorable experiences. With Louis Vuitton-inspired table accessories and Versace Home crystalware occasionally gracing the table, every dinner becomes a luxurious ritual that blurs the boundary between fine dining and fine art.
