And this mansion is a perfect mirror of a lonely soul full of idiosyncrasies. Almost austere in its profusion of soft nude colors and geometrical elements, this house was meant as a showroom for Viktor’s ever-growing collection of paintings, books and fine archeological relics.

In fact, this sideboard is his favorite furniture element in the entire house.
