English eclectic meets modern minimalism
English eclectic meets modern minimalism
Knowing the clients and what they love was our starting point when creating this Manhattan getaway home. A combination of English eclecticism and modern minimalism werewould be perfect for this pied-à-terre in West Chelsea.
Because this residence was to be their vacation home, it needed to be enjoyed differently than their primary residence. Designers took the couple's usual aesthetic—a layered, classicly decorate English look—and distilled it to mesh with the surrounding modern, cosmopolitan context. While not being a total departure from their usual style, it's presented in a more restrained, pure way.
Throughout the apartment, Les Ensembliers strove to echo the existing architecture’s clean lines, while infusing warmth into the spaces. Moments were created and themes come to life in each room with the use of unique, refined wallpapers. For example, deGournay panels were built and hung in the streamlined dining room to bring whimsy and warmth, while a bespoke Gabriel Scott chandelier brings depth to the space, all the while tying into the beautifully drawn landscape panels.
The finishes and furnishings within the various spaces are a mix of periods and styles, all designed around the idea of a collected eclectic ensemble. It's the perfect tension between a soulful home and the best of modern living, and the ideal pairing for a holiday getaway home on the High Line.
