The client with a family of five in this Park Avenue residence came to us looking for a complete gut renovation and contemporary recreation of this traditional Park Ave apartment, originally built in 1928. As a successful entrepreneur in the fashion industry, he had much appreciation for the design styles of Christian Liagre, Armani Casa, Minotti and Catharine Memmi. A sophisticated and modern palette of colors and materials where meticulously selected for this discerning client. Having relationships with great leather resources due to the nature of his industry and business, we punctuated the design of many rooms with customized applications of high quality leathers; custom leather wall panels in the library, leather wrapped door handles (hardware) and custom designed furniture; casegoods incorporating leather panels and upholstered pieces.
A fine Art collection throughout the home compliments an orchestrated tension between the finishes; dark floors, light walls, silk rugs that shimmer and provide a sense of movement, leather that is sleek and matte and custom wallpapers created by backing fabrics that provide the elegance of a fine garment. The relationship of fashion and the executive telegraphs from the owner's life into the very fabric of this home.
