Step inside a Manhattan apartment glamorously updated by Rafael de Cárdenas.
Living Room
The Greenwich Village penthouse of a recent London transplant was given a sophisticated makeover byRafael de Cárdenas/Architecture at Large. Above the living room mantel, a pair of Gino Sarfatti sconces from Galerie Kreo flank a Yayoi Kusama painting; the ottoman is by De Cárdenas. An Oscar Tuazon mixed-media piece hangs on the far wall, near a Pierre Paulin armchair and a Maria Pergay cocktail table, both from Demisch Danant.
A living room alcove includes a pair of Mark Grotjahn works mounted over a custom-designed De Cárdenas daybed upholstered in a Bergamo fabric; the lamps are vintage Jean Royère, and the chair, covered in a Lelièvre jacquard, is by Garouste and Bonetti.
A large piece by Isabelle Cornaro presides over a corner of the living room, where a Rafael de Cárdenassofa and an Ettore Sottsass lamp are joined by a Jacques Quinet leather armchair from Maison Gerard(left) and a gold-plated Mattia Bonetti chair from Paul Kasmin Gallery; the rug is by Fort Street Studio.
Entry Hall
In the entry hall, a Baccarat chandelier glitters above a table and chairs by De Cárdenas and a Junko Mori tabletop sculpture; a pair of Campana Brothers chairs stand beneath a work by Nobuo Sekine.
A wall covering by Assume Vivid Astro Focus animates the stairway.
Master Bedroom
An artwork by Rammellzee hangs over the master suite’s Rafael de Cárdenas bed, which is dressed with a cashmere blanket by the Elder Statesman; the photographs above the fireplace are by Roni Horn, the Milo Baughman lounge chair is from Craig Van Den Brulle, and the carpet is by Inigo Elizalde Rugs.
