Jessica Gersten Interiors has designed a home in New York that uses a neutral colour palette from room to room. Soft tones, curved furniture and custom pieces keep the apartment calm, while the windows bring in views of the city.
Living and dining
The living and dining space is open and looks out over the city. A niche lined in parchment was inspired by the de Noailles residence in Paris, designed by Jean-Michel Frank in 1925. A curved sofa wraps around coffee tables that the designer made herself, also drawing on the work of Frank. Contemporary side chairs and tables, plus a Noguchi lantern, complete the seating area.
Above the oak dining table, also designed by Gersten, hangs a mobile light by Ludovic Clement d'Armont. The curved theme carries on with the wing dining chairs from Studio Twenty-Seven.
In the foyer, a gouged wood credenza anchors the space, with art by Erin Schirreff above it and ceramic sconces from The Invisible Collection.
Bedroom and bath
In the main bedroom, the headboard wall is another custom design, made with Toyine Sellers fabric and pale oak panelling. Art on the opposite wall is by Estuko Ichikawa, chosen with help from Hourglass Advisory. A Webcoat table lamp by Steven Haulenbeek stands on a credenza that Gersten also designed.
In the bathroom, a freestanding bathtub sits in front of a window that frames the city.
As a general point, a restrained palette lets texture and form do the work: curved pieces, wood grain and fabric give interest without adding colour.
