West Chelsea Residence

Located in the iconic Jean Nouvel building in West Chelsea, this home was decorated for eyewear designer Robert Marc and his partner. The two-bedroom apartment, with sweeping views overlooking the Hudson River and the neighboring Frank Gehry’s IAC building, was carefully curated with the homeowner’s extensive collection of vintage furnishings. Early modern Italian pieces are mixed with custom furnishings and the client’s contemporary art collection to create rich and cohesive layers in the gallery-like space. Walls were kept crisp white to capture the modernity of the building while the decoration leans toward the darker tones to give warmth and richness.
