Metrotech Loft

The apartment loft is 1,020 sq ft with one dividing wall to designate areas for dining, living, sleeping, and office.
The objective was to showcase the client's art collection and furniture as art and provide a comfortable & inviting living environment as well.
There were two eating areas. We managed to do the breakfast area near the entry by the kitchen. The opening to the kitchen was disguised by an adjustable moving screen. The formal dining area was situated by a wall of windows facing West, which made it wonderful for sunset dinners.
The custom floor lamps, designed by FR Gillette, were inspired by the great modernist European lighting of the 1930's and 1940's.
The dining chairs and armchairs were upholstered in a variety of fabrics from Maharam, Pindler & Pindler, and Knoll.
We filled the need for bookshelves with frosted plastic modular cubes from Design Within Reach.
