City Apartment for Entertaining

Originally this eleven room apartment was two apartments in a building designed in 1923 on Manhattan’s Upper East Side off Park Avenue. The co-op had several beautifully proportioned rooms and 110 feet of southern exposure. The clients sought a design for the interior that would be both livable and stylish. French 1940s design appealed to these collectors of contemporary art. They also had inherited some American furniture and decorative arts. The designer’s brief was to achieve an airy, aesthetic in the public rooms, while integrating the family’s earlier furniture and art into the master bedroom. In every space, works of fine and decorative art initiate us into the careful layering of eras and textures which characterizes the apartment as a whole. As well as French 40s pieces, the residence features custom furniture of the highest quality. The meticulous detailing of architecture and fixtures throughout the apartment attains a high level of quality, materiality and finish.
