My biggest priority (besides making my client happy) was ensuring that we honored the former use of the space as the Singer headquarters - one of the earliest skyscapers in Manhattan. Though every instinct within me was begging to line the walls with vintage Singer sewing machines, their rare nature required that I find another way to tastefully nod to the past.

A penthouse that used to be the Singer headquarters needed a clean, airy makeover with a touch of Mid-Century color.

We kept the style contemporary, combining modern angles of the furnishings with the detailed ornamentation of the surrounding architecture. Mid-Century Modern pops come in only to add color to an otherwise airy and neutral space.

Both a threaded macrame piece as well as a pearl chandelier pays homage to the materials that once filled the space back in its heyday.
