Living Room • 252 7th Ave Unit 10P, New York, NY 10001
Floor-to-ceiling fabric panels divide the open room. Sheer linen forms 'The Quiet Veil' for reading. A denser wool tapestry creates 'The Dynamic Screen' between living and dining. Ribbed velvet defines 'The Acoustic Section' on one wall.
A central upholstered platform, 'The Gathering Hearth,' provides a soft congregational area. Overhead fabric banners form a 'Ceiling Canopy' over the dining space. Strip lighting emphasizes these new textile boundaries. Circulation paths guide movement through distinct fabric environments.
Fabric creates every distinct zone within this open space.
Design Philosophy
The design shapes an open room using pliable textiles. This approach employs Soft Demarcation to define new boundaries. Fabric defines each segment's function, creating distinct 'parts.' These material divisions guide Tactile Journeys through varying sensory experiences.
Spatial Narrative

Light Study
Morning light streams through large windows, diffused gently by 'The Quiet Veil' linen. In the evening, strip lighting accentuates fabric boundaries. The overhead 'Ceiling Canopy' lowers and warms the dining area's glow.
Living Vignette
A hand brushes the ribbed velvet of 'The Acoustic Section.' A conversation flows easily around 'The Gathering Hearth.'
