A mid-century modern apartment in Manhattan features vintage and contemporary. At first glance, the apartment looks like the 1970s home – curvy lines, wood, and warm /neutral) colors. However, soon we realize the contemporary flair of the furnishings and finishes. This mid-century modern apartment is a work from Timothy Godbold. Raised in Australia, the talented designer currently works mainly in New York, after living for a short time in London. The interiors of Timothy Godbold are special. Even though he started his design career as a fashion designer (designing for Ralph Lauren, for instance), he soon dedicated his talent to residential living, pulling off exquisite residences on top and exclusive locations. His fashion background gives Timothy Godbold a deep comprehension of textures, patterns, and visual perception. As a kid in the 1970s, Godbold would watch Space: 1999, a British sci-fi series that shaped his aesthetic comprehension of the world. In Manhattan, the designer shows off his talent to mix styles and textures and the influence of the powerful collision of past, present, and future. HOW DOES TIMOTHY GODBOLD CREATE A MID-CENTURY MODERN APARTMENT IN MANHATTAN? WOOD PANELING In this mid-century modern apartment, Timothy Godbold panels the curvy walls with wood. It is a warm hue, convincing enough to make anyone travel back in time, directly to the 1970s. This is actually one of the biggest fixtures of this mid-century modern apartment in Manhattan since the ribbed paneling creates a unique visual texture that involves the entire house. MIXED MATERIALS Since Timothy Godbold uses a neutral color palette for this modern house in Manhattan, the fashion and interior designer combines different physical textures to enrich the rooms of this luxury apartment. For instance, in the dining room, Godbold combines a contemporary stainless steel suspension lamp with a stunning travertine dining table and wood armchairs upholstered with fabric. Besides having the same color palette, each element brings a different texture to the room, stimulating the eyes of the beholder by giving a sense of depth, volume, and contrast. DIFFERENT FABRICS Timothy Godbold adorns the living room with modern and vintage furniture. But, again, the wood on the floor and the walls remind us that this luxury apartment in Manhattan is a contemporary reading of the 70s interior design style. CONTEMPORARY ART Nothing stimulates more the human mind than art, right? For that reason, Timothy Godbold decorates this apartment in Manhattan with large – and colorful – art pieces. While the wood paneling takes us to the 1970s, the contemporary art pieces remind us that the future is now – and it has neutral colors, modern luxury furniture, and seductive visual textures.

This penthouse has become a home for Lee Broom and furniture, lighting, and accessories from his new and archived collections. Lee Broom knows a lot about scenery. As a teenager, he studied at the theater school, invented images for artists and decorations for the stage. Echoes of that time could be seen at his exhibitions, and now also in the designer’s new apartment. For each room of his 279 m² penthouses, Lee Broome wrote his script, but each one combines spectacular lighting fixtures and flowing curtains. Here, on the fifth and sixth floors of a former office building on White Street, there is a living room, a dining room, two kitchens, two bedrooms, a dressing room, an office, and two whole terraces.  Despite the building’s past, Lee Broom abandoned the loft-style and furnished the apartment with its inherent classiness. Thus, the living room welcomes guests with tranquil monochrome decoration and furniture. The accents are strewn with brass objects and graphic details. The centerpiece of the room is occupied by two White Street sofas designed specifically for this penthouse. They were born out of Lee Broom’s long-standing passion for symmetry, and due to the streamlined shape and sculptural armrests, sofas claim to be the main architectural objects of the space.  He maintained the same floating concept as the sofas, Tribeca Tables coffee tables in seemingly heavyweight black marble and travertine. Nevertheless, Lee Broom did not stop there and, in order to let more air and light into the room, he placed monolithic mirror panels on both sides of the fireplace portal. And then everything immediately becomes clear: this is not only a designer’s “second home,” but also a visual instruction on how to fit Lee Broom items into living spaces. “For many years, I have presented my work at exhibitions and installations, but now I am happy to show them in the living space,” says Lee Broome. “So this penthouse is not only a reflection of how I live and work but also how I see my furniture and light at home.” This is where the designer moved part of his growing personal collection of antiques and art – it can be seen throughout the house. One notable example is the bar, designed by Steve Chase in the 1980s, which found its place within the sea-blue walls of the dining room.  Complementing it are gray velvet drapes and new Musico chairs and table with hand-bent stainless steel pipes, of course from Lee Broom. The space continues with a large terrace with a breathtaking view of the World Trade Center. Furthermore, Lee Broom’s master bedroom on the second floor, also accessible by a floating staircase, has a terrace overlooking the Empire State Building. However, there is also something to see here: a 1970s postmodern bed in brass and stainless steel. According to the designer, this unique piece has long served as a source of inspiration for many of his projects. Nearby is Lee Broom’s office, which looks more like a small gallery of modern art. Opposite the carefully selected painting hangs another curious exhibit – Keith Haring’s leather jacket with a picture of a crucifix, which the artist made himself. Furthermore, such personal things for the designer, first of all, distinguish this space from any, even the coziest showroom.

“Though it had not been touched much for two generations, it held much emotion.” So says Jeremiah Brent, interior designer, about an apartment in Manhattan that had been a Latin American family’s anchor for decades. The site of memorable gatherings, convivial dinners, and celebrations of all kinds. Everybody knew that the Park Avenue property had to be renovated when it recently passed into another generation’s hands, but, the New York-based talent adds, the commission would prove a challenge for everyone involved, personally as well as professionally. “It could not lose any of its spirits, but we had to bring in light and more contemporary elements,” Jeremiah Brent explains. “The approach had to honor the client’s mother, who had lived there for so long while bringing it into the present, while also leaving room for the future. It had to be a fresh start but a sensitive one.” Located in a 1920s building on the city’s Upper East Side, the 2,600-square-foot flat is “so beautiful and grand and has such great soul,” Brent observes, adding that he had been recommended for the job by the owner’s nephew, who happens to be one of Brent’s clients. Of the uncle and aunt who have now become close Brent friends: “He is practical and logistical but has this funny art eye that gravitates to bold, emotional pieces. She is as chic as it gets, brilliant, and likes things that are refined, soft, and luxurious.” The couple is a member of a worldly clan that shuttles between Mexico and Nicaragua and has collected art in abundance and produced it. “When I first walked in, there were these bronze sculptures everywhere that looked like Giacometti’s—but they were the work of the husband’s mother, who is now in her 90s and is creative, strong, and passionate,” the decorator says. He was also stunned by an accumulation of Mesoamerican pottery that had been collected over more than 30 years. “That is where we started, pulling out patinas and finishes that reflected the pottery and the bronzes,” Brent says. Before any work started—including revitalizing the baths and the kitchen, which needed to be updated – Jeremiah Brent proceeded as he always does, asking a question that provides a foundation of insights. “What are the three most important times of your day?” As he explains, “You learn a lot about somebody when they can tell you about the moments and ceremonies and rituals that ground them to a space. Sometimes people realize what they are not getting out of their home, and that is when the exercise gets interesting.” One thing missing in the apartment was a place to read a book and write a letter quietly for the clients. Luckily, adjacent to the living room was an ancillary space that proved to be a perfect spot for those two pursuits.Brent recast the space, painting the walls with Farrow & Ball’s Dead Salmon, a pinkish-beige tone related to the pottery vessels that are now grouped on the room’s built-in shelves, and installing an L-shape sofa upholstered in tufted olive green mohair velvet. A deep blue chair with a matching ottoman beckon for a relaxing read, while against one wall stands a marble-topped Charles X table accompanied by an elegant chair—both of which belonged to the client’s mother—the perfect spot to dash off a note. “That was the one room where we were going to play with color,” Jeremiah Brent says. “Because I wanted the rest of the apartment to have a tight, more neutral palette.” By which he means largely soft-white walls, pale fabrics, molasses-dark wood floors, and uncomplicated window treatments that control sunlight without suppressing it, unlike the shutters and heavy curtains that reigned before. Neutral, yes, but not without moments of excitement, such as the boldly angular custom bronze mantel in the living room, its material is chosen expressly because it is related to the matriarch’s figural sculptures. The circular entrance hall is a space that Brent calls “a beautiful chaos,” where a Latin American artist conjured a mural made up of gold geometric shapes that echo the silhouettes of the room’s Pierre Chapo table and the Gio Ponti–style light fixture. It is a fun-house repetition that energizes the classical architecture while the overlapping curves engender a strange sense of hypnotic calm. Complementary geometries can be found throughout the rooms, furnishings large and small, from the disclike vintage Vilhelm Lauritzen sconces in the dining room to the golden table lamps in the guest bedroom to the sculpted pile carpet in the living room. As Brent promised from the start, the matriarch’s figural sculptures are treated with the respect and importance that he felt they had long deserved. Formerly scattered here and there, most are now displayed on a custom-made travertine console in the dining room. Sitting, standing, bending, and walking, make the sleek, serene space seem full of life when not a soul is around while also paying homage to the past. “Nothing is more luxurious than when you are brave enough to blend and to bring things together,” Brent says. “The most beautiful space is a blended one that feels assembled and represents different generations.” We really hope you liked our article.

AD100 designer Steven Volpe had the opportunity to decorate this luxury Manhattan apartment. For over two decades, Studio Volpe has helped people realize their particular vision of living gracefully and beautifully. The library contains a pair of Jean Prouvé armchairs, a Jean Royère cocktail table, and a Gino Sarfatti chandelier; artworks include paintings by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol, a Roman marble figure, and a Haas Brothers mini beast. What does it mean to create a massive New York City apartment, something equal in ambition and quality to the brightest homes of the Gilded Age, in the 21st century? How do you express the ideas of luxury in a way that feels modern, elegant, humble, and, above all, relevant for a young family? The designer Steven Volpe had the rare chance to explore those questions designing a 10,000-square-foot, located in a slender, skyline-defining tower in midtown Manhattan. In the family room, a Gio Ponti lounge chair and a Steinway & Sons piano join custom cabinets of multicolored plaster panels. However, before Volpe and his team could bring the furniture to the luxury apartment, they faced a massive engineering challenge. Essentially creating a building within a building to mitigate the strange sounds of wind. “Our solution was to formulate a new architectural shell, with walls and ceilings that are independent of the walls of the tower. This was not a simple task.”, says Volpe. In the kitchen, an Emmanuel Babled chandelier hangs above a Martin Szekely table from Galerie Kreo and Joseph-André Mott chairs from Demisch Danant. Once the structure’s controversial issue was resolved, Volpe and his design director, Ralph Dennis, focused on developing a modern luxury apartment. One that nods to historical classics without succumbing to antiquated models. “The stone floors of the entry hall feather into the wood floors of the living room with no hard stops. Blurring the boundaries between the rooms,” Volpe says. In the foyer, an Andy Warhol painting hangs above a Valentin Loellmann bench. A Pablo Picasso painting surmounts a Martin Szekely console. The wall lamp is by Jean Royère. The spacious living room perhaps best exemplifies the level of detail and sophistication of the entire home. “We had to ask ourselves, ‘How do you design a room of this size without having it feel like a hotel lobby?’ ” Volpe notes. In the living room, a Gio Ponti chandelier hangs above a Jules Wabbes center table. A pair of Diego Giacometti armchairs and a Frank Stella painting surmounts a Studio Volpe sofa covered in Anamar and Chapa’s textiles fabrics. Blue table by Wendell Castle, obsidian lamps by Jean-Michel Frank, Fredrikson Stallard cocktail table from David Gill Gallery, and custom rugs by V’Soske. The artwork at the rear is by Lucio Fontana. A 1970s Jules Wabbes center table, with a rare Gio Ponti chandelier, divides the space, creating two distinct seating areas that soften the room’s enormous scale. In the living room, a Gio Ponti chandelier crowns a Jules Wabbes center table and a pair of chairs by Diego Giacometti. Important vintage furnishings combine amicably with signature creations by avant-garde contemporary designers. New oak-and-bronze surrounds frame the windows and window seats, adding another layer of refinement along the space’s periphery. On one side of the living room, the ensemble includes Joaquim Tenreiro sofas covered in Prelle silk. A Vincenzo de Cotiis side table, a Guy de Rougemont cocktail table, a Joris Laarman copper chair, Nacho Carbonell table lamps, an Alberto Giacometti floor lamp, and Claremont silk curtains. Painting by Roy Lichtenstein. That same inspired collision of the classic and the contemporary extends into the formal dining room. A colossal Rick Owens alabaster dining table is surrounded by a suite of chairs, all set beneath a pair of 1940s Venetian glass chandeliers. Jean Royère armchairs surround an alabaster table by Rick Owens from Carpenters Workshop gallery in the dining room. Curtains of Lisio silk taffeta, Seguso chandelier, and door panel with portholes by Jean Prouvé. A Richard Prince painting is paired with a Jean Royère Trèfle sideboard in the dining room. In this luxury Manhattan apartment’s primary bedroom, walls of stitched, pale-gray lambskin panels, set within a walnut framework, represent a modern take on the parchment-covered rooms. Like many details in the apartment, the wall treatment appears pretty uncomplicated and simple, despite its construction complexities. Lambskin panels in a walnut frame line the walls of the primary bedroom. Headboard upholstered in a Sam Kasten handweaver silk, bench by Milo Baughman, and chair by Wendell Castle. The primary bath in the luxury apartment has a Franco Albini sconce, a Paavo Tynell chandelier, P.E. Guerin fittings, and walls of the back-painted glass. A Vincenzo De Cotiis table sits beside a custom carved travertine tub in the primary bath. They did not want the spaces to feel as if there was too much going on. The decorative effects are calculated for subtlety, not artificial drama. When you are in this luxury Manhattan apartment, you sense the quality. A seating area in the primary bedroom includes a Wendell Castle chair from Carpenters Workshop Galler. A Federico Munari sofa covered in Fortuny velvet, and low tables by Bethan Laura Wood from Nilufar Gallery. An eglomise mirror and a pair of sconces by Max Ingrand complement a custom carved limestone vanity in a powder room. The chandelier is by Seguso, and the chair is by Claude Lalanne. Still, for anyone with an eye for spectacular detail, bravura moments, however understated, proliferate throughout the home. There are solid oak doors that would terrify even the most experienced contractors. Kitchen cabinetry of bronze and wire-brushed oak. Impossibly thin, floating aluminum shelves veneered in wood. Citrine pulls on the guest-room closets. Children’s bunk beds that look like something out of the grandest ocean liners or railcars of yesteryear. Also, a hallway paneled in ribbed wood lacquered in a shade of Byzantine blue. A child’s bedroom has a custom bleached-mahogany bunk bed with D. Porthault linens, a Pierre Paulin chair covered in Maharam fabric, wool carpet by Stark, and curtains in a Kerry Joyce linen. No single detail was too obscure, and no room too secondary, for the highest levels of imagination and craftsmanship. Pink onyx is inset in a field
