Pre-war duplex apartment for a family on New York’s Upper East Side. Our goal was to freshen the space with high-gloss lacquer finishes, fresh contemporary fabrics, modern lighting, and a mix of old and new, pairing antiques with more contemporary pieces, and even some “rescue” pieces – like the living room sofa, which literally was one step away from the rubbish heap. The result is a space that at once is inviting and comfortable, liveable, yet elegant.
