East 72nd St Apartment

Transitional Living Room, New York

At one end, the original marble fireplace is framed by cabinetry and light emanating soffits which give it a lively new context. At the opposite end of the room, a rhythmically organized green wall defines the entry to the dining room. The lighting in these spaces reinforces the overall design concept: modern recessed down lights and indirect lighting are combined with more transitional wall sconces and Viennese chandeliers to create a synthesis of old and new. Modern classics by Le Corbusier in black leather site across from one another while the Hill House chair by Charles Rennie Mackintosh straddle the windows. An original Art Deco poster sits atop the marble fireplace.
