This brief to design an apartment in leafy Greenwich Village in New York is an ongoing project. The apartment has wonderful character including a working fireplace in the living room and sash windows throughout.
My client wanted a vintage, industrial look which we softened with texture and colour. I felt it was important to do this as although it’s a great look for bars and cafés, it could look hard and unwelcoming in a domestic setting if you did not mix in other elements and styles.
The client chose a statement bronze sling chair that he particularly liked for the living room and we built the room around that, adding other pieces of furniture, and building up layers of colour, pattern and texture.
