More Inspired Design Showhouse

October 30, 2009 by Jane F 1 Comment

inspired design showhouse - white living modern living room by inson, dubois, woods - AtticmagTour part two of the Inspired Design showhouse celebrating extraordinary women

A large amount of space has been devoted to the Inspired Designs Showhouse here in New York City. It features two apartments full of rooms — nearly 10,000 square feet — created by 15 top designers as a benefit for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, founded by Evelyn H. Lauder. Each room was inspired by an extraordinary woman chosen by the designer.

I toured one apartment and returned to see the second, slightly smaller space. So start the second-day tour here. Or, better yet, look at part one of the Inspired Design Showhouse then come back here.

Both apartments are new luxury condominiums at 535 West End Avenue, where prices range between $8.5 and $25 million. Extell Development lent the space to launch the new address. Most important, though, showhouse proceeds go to fund important breast cancer research and awareness.

A focal point in this contemporary living room is, most definitely, the expansive white leather B&B Italia Daybed Terminal 1 (at the end of the coffee table), which looks like a modernist soup spoon. The modern carpets, from Orley and Shabahang, have wonderful earthy  colors plus handsome woven edges instead of fringe, to give them a sleek finish.  An image on the printed pillow on the corner chair [below] resembles Che Guevara.

inspired design showhouse - custom cream upholstered sofa on a Carini Lang carpet in the library by S. Russell Groves - AtticmagLibrary – S. Russell Groves. Inspiration: First Lady Michelle Obama
Another gorgeous rug woven in a cream-tan and blue-gray abstract pattern, this time from Carini Lang, supports the muted library color scheme calibrated just a few points above neutral and picked up by an exquisitely upholstered custom sofa by Doreen Interiors.
inspired design showhouse - pair of Tommi Parzinger Palumbo side chairs in library designed by S. Russell Groves - AtticmagThe elegant furniture includes a pair of Tommi Parzinger Palumbo side chairs set on one corner the Carini Lang custom carpet.
inspired design showhouse - stained brown smallbone kitchen cabinets with black granite by Rinfret Interiors - AtticmagKitchen and Family Room – Rinfret Interiors, LLC. Inspiration: Coco Chanel
Opening onto to this family room  is a large, richly appointed T-shape kitchen with wood-tone Smallbone cabinets, polished black  granite counters and a beefy La Cornue gas range.
inspired design showhouse - view of the kitchen from the family room, both by Rinfret Interiors - AtticmagThe peninsula backs into the sitting area with an eating bar for two so the main sink, with Waterworks faucet, sits on the far wall.The stem of the T, a pass-through from the hallway, houses a wine refrigerator, built-in Miele coffee system, SubZero refrigerator, secondary Miele electric cooktop and prep sink. Oops, I almost forgot another Miele oven.

inspired design showhouse - master bedroom canopy bed with cream color linens by Cullman & Kravis - AtticmagMaster Bedroom – Cullman & Kravis, Inc. Inspiration: Playwright and activist Eve Ensler
The richness and subtlety of the master bedroom cannot be overstated. This is one of those you-must-know-what-you’re-looking-at rooms with a helpful crib sheet of antiques and artworks in a leather-bound book.
inspired design showhouse - Greco-roman detail draperies by Cullman & Kravis in the master bedroom - AtticmagI got a vaguely Greco-Roman vibe from the detailing on the bed hangings and amazing embroidered leading edges of Anthony Lawrence Belfair draperies hung from a silver-painted rod and rings.
inspired design showhouse - master bedroom picture window with golden buddah by Cullman & Kravis - AtticmagThe gilded buddah surrounded by pillar candles deftly keeps the focus in the room rather than let it go out the large window.
inspired design showhouse - peach and green floral fabric bedroom by Pat Kreisler - AtticmagBedroom – Pat Kreisler. Inspiration: Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
A peach and green color scheme in this “Margaret Thatcher” bedroom brought the 1980s roaring back. And what could be more perfectly in tune with the  sedate and utterly traditional English style chamber than rose chintz mixed with Porthault and Pratesi sheets.

inspired design showhouse - cocoa and beige study with metal mesh and printed roman shades by Greg Lanza - AtticmagStudy – Greg Lanza Design. Inspiration: Princess Marella Caracciolo di Castagneto (Marella Agnelli)
Tones of cocoa and brown lend a cozy air to this study but I was mesmerized by the window treatment.
inspired design showhouse - metal mesh shade in study by Greg Lanza - AtticmagWhen pulled up, a printed roman shade reveals a loose-weave mesh scrim over the window plus decorative silver ball hangings on each side that read like  a cheeky pun on  metal shade chains.

inspired design showhouse - dark, moody room with interesting accessories by David Scott - AtticmagBedroom – David Scott Interiors. Inspiration: Artist Michele Oka Doner
Perhaps the most dramatic room in the apartment, this moody bedroom featured a brown leather daybed. The room was a play of shapes and shadows cast by intense lighting effects.

    […] spent one morning touring Apartment B and the next day went back to see Apartment A for my More Inspired Design Showhouse post.  Many of the designers were available in their rooms and it was great to hear each of them […]
