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.

Matthew never misses a chance to shop for antiques Matthew never misses a chance to shop for antiques, even in Japan as a ballet dancer in his 20’s. Performing in a strange and massive production by artist Steven Arnold, it was a heady time in the 1980’s. Steven’s work was collected by Baryshnikov, Diana Vreeland, Cher, Yves Saint Laurent, Salvador Dali and others. This beautifully attired, early 20th century doll in its original case holds lovely memories of place and time, of the utterly unique Steven Arnold, and a circle of dear ballet friends that holds fast to this day. #ballet #japan #antiques

Matthew came to his passion for beautiful “dishes” Matthew came to his passion for beautiful “dishes” naturally. The most profound gift from his mother and grandmother, and later by “Ed & Tony” was their embrace and encouragement in the development of his eye. Mentorship is everything. Btw, the Davenport part dessert service was made between c1800-1815. That’s well over 200 years of this extraordinary pearlware set existing somewhat intact. The painted scenes tell us it was likely created for an English country house. #antiques #antiqueceramics
