Loft Entry Vignettes

January 26, 2010 by Jane F Leave a Comment

A modern, open-plan loft entry, like these lofts by New York architect and designer S. Russell Groves, are screen-grabs of taste. They are created by placing eye-stopping furniture vignettes directly in the initial sight line. Consider the sleek sconces flanking a leaf-theme painting set over a mirror-polish Parsons console table with a bench below. This says young, urban and modern to me. While vases provide a spot of color and a bench below the table fills the void, this arrangement remains modern by using shape and the interplay of materials and surfaces rather than the  numbers and colors of objects.

A similar arrangement in another loft delivers a different message. Carved pine benches add an earthiness below the tall table. The mirror of choice — much copied but still very hip — is based on a classic black leather-bound mid-century modern piece that’s the signature look of French designer Jacques Adnet.

The 12-inch diameter original Jacques Adnet 1950s mirror [left] has a leather frame and strap with brass buckles. It was offered at a 2006 Treadway Gallery auction with a $800-$1200 estimate. I took this photo of BDDW’s popular modern interpretation of Adnet’s mirror at a design show. Due to the black background, it’s difficult to see the strap but the BDDW was likely used by Groves — however it may be a Pottery Barn copy, about $250, now discontinued, called the Channing mirror.
