Shhh! Secret Storage

Design Log

15 Sep
Secret Storage

A design directive for the Studio 54 Patron’s Lounge was that it work well for multiple purposes – from cocktails during intermission to lectures, lunches and meetings. We not only created the furniture plan to accommodate these events, but also designed a clandestine closet where folding chairs and tables would easily be accessed and hidden from view.

To create this secret storage space, we concealed a pre-existing alcove with a secret door. That door became art when we designed a striking sculpture to mask its purpose. By simply moving the two-piece sofa and opening this door, a storage vault magically appears, making room set-up a cinch.

Light is an incredibly important component of desi Light is an incredibly important component of design, and this home we designed on Manhattan’s Upper West Side maximizes its potential.  Bathed with natural light thanks to a curving corner of windows, the room’s glow was further enhanced by a striking Murano glass chandelier, custom tin can lid artwork from Clare Graham, and mirrored end tables, all of which gently bounce the light in all directions.  📸 by @artgrayphoto  #whitewebbinteriors #interiordesign #nycinteriors #nychomes #nycinteriordesigner #livingroomdesign #apartmentdesign
