Charlap Hyman & Herrero

In the six years since 1stDibs pronounced them a “hotshot duo,” Adam Charlap Hyman, left, and Andre Herrero, the 34-year-old cofounders of the bicoastal architecture and design firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero, have produced interiors, exhibitions, retail installations and opera sets, along with signature lines for Schumacher and Patterson Flynn Martin. A maverick sensibility defines their interiors, which are equal parts sophisticated and unabashedly eccentric. In this 1950s beach-cabana-inspired Miami Beach living room, they turned a traditional decorating vignette — paintings hung in front of a curtained wall — on its head, with bold striped fabric and prehistoric landscapes by artists Michael Jacques and Abel Michel. The designers paired an elegantly inviting 1981 Sant’Ambrogio sofa by Luigi Caccia Dominioni for Azucena with Lella and Massimo Vignelli’s Kono table, from the 1970s, which, Charlap Hyman says, “has an interesting metaphysical quality.” A collection of blue 1920s Raoul Lachenal ceramics adorns the table, complementing the curtains and the upholstery on a metal rocking chair belonging to the client. On a pedestal next to an Isamu Noguchi sofa sits a sculpture called Die Hard, by the contemporary artist Tom Sachs. Raffia lamp shades custom made in Morocco and chrome stools by Shun Kinoshita provide a textural counterpoint to the sleek seating and tables. “This room combines so many amazing pieces from different periods and different styles,” says Charlap Hyman, “that it feels like it could have only been made now.”
