Formal Living Room • 1 W 72nd St #56, New York, NY 10023
Semi-sheer fabric panels hang from the ceiling. They divide the sofa and dining areas unexpectedly. A central fabric sculpture creates a permeable room divider. Upholstered wall sections conceal openings.
Circulation paths shift around soft textile elements. Focused lighting abruptly changes to ambient. The room offers unexpected spatial breaks. It reshapes how you move and experience the space.
The room redefines how space is perceived and moved through.
Design Philosophy
Textile architecture redefines room boundaries. Suspended fabrics create unexpected spatial breaks. These installations redirect movement and focus. The design challenges conventional room divisions.
Spatial Narrative
The eye first meets the suspended fabric panels. They guide your path around the curvilinear bench. You then settle into a partially enclosed seating area.
Light Study
Morning light filters softly through sheer panels, diffusing throughout the room. Evening light from the modified chandelier casts focused beams and soft glows. It highlights specific textile layers and surfaces.
Living Vignette
Sunlight filters through a sheer panel, creating a soft shadow on the floor. You shift your weight on the upholstered bench, feeling its soft form.
Material Palette
Linen voile: This semi-transparent fabric softens light. It develops a gentle drape over time.
Brushed cotton velvet: Its surface feels deeply soft to the touch. It gains a subtle sheen with use.
Textured raw silk: The fabric provides a dry, tactile wall surface. It holds its form and texture for years.
