Hanson Place Penthouse


The interior was conceived as a fluid landscape in which the custom-designed furniture and finishes are metaphors for natural elements. There is an interplay between the mobile, organic elements and the fixed, rectilinear architectural framework: a “fountain” coat rack, composed of looping arcs of brass; a cumulus chandelier with spheres of cast-glass; and a record cabinet faced with incised white flowers. When the sections of the bespoke tripartite table—configurable in multiple arrangements for flexibility of seating and use—are joined, the composition becomes reminiscent of the stump of a great old tree.
