We designed this newly renovated, full-floor apartment in the Flatiron District for a Southern gentleman with a deep appreciation for 1970s glamour and European savoir faire. In the living and dining rooms—both crowned by Isamu Noguchi paper globe lanterns —the walls are caramel brown, echoed in the woven window coverings and the dhurrie carpet. The Guillerme et Chambron slipper chairs and Roger Capron cocktail table, as well as the 1970s travertine table and midcentury steel dining chairs, were acquired at the Paris flea market Les Puces. The bedroom is enrobed in dark blue paint, with Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s Soriana seating in chocolate velvet, and a custom faux-crocodile headboard that nods to the homeowner’s childhood on a Louisiana crocodile farm.
