In the dining room, around a contemporary concrete table (RH), vintage Edward Wormley rattan-backed chairs, refurbished and reupholstered.
A play of materials and light
In addition to its complex geometry, the space ended up losing its character through successive renovations and the addition of layers of coating and plaster. The interior designers began by revealing the black steel beams and columns of the original structure as well as the brick walls, which they painted white, in order to re-anchor the place to its industrial history. For the occasion, they teamed up with Mexican decorator Edgar González to develop together a refined palette of materials, mixing light woods, bright colors and simple patterns with dark tones, fabrics and rich textures for more contrast. The light oak parquet flooring matches the kitchen island, the mirrored splashback, the brushed stainless steel cold unit and the glass partitions in the bedroom or large dressing room. Likewise, the apartment includes two bathrooms, the guest bathroom is treated in a boudoir-powder room style rather than a shower and additional toilet.
The glass doors and partitions open onto the corridor, circulating daylight to the deepest part of the apartment. Closed, they preserve privacy. In the foreground on the right is the office, in the background, the guest bedroom.
Contemporary chic and cool
“The owners wanted ocher tones and a contemporary aesthetic, so with Edgar we focused on colors and textures with subtle luxury, like the mohair of the cushions on the built-in sofa in the living room, which provides just the right amount of softness without detracting from the clean lines of the furniture. » …And to the couple’s growing art collection, one might add. Because by using natural materials, by combining new and vintage furniture, BOND and Edgar González create an atmosphere that is deliberately more timeless than trendy. “Working with owners in their thirties made us want to create a fresh and youthful space. We therefore reinterpreted the New York loft style, which could sometimes be minimalist, by summoning ambitious architectural movements such as designer pieces and a selection of Italian-inspired furniture. » In this contemporary, warm and luxurious space, we go from a mix of brown fabrics to light stones like the granite of the Taj Mahal in the kitchen, onyx in the master bathroom mixed with Mutina tiles. An aesthetic mix as much as an intercultural story imbued with the Israeli-Mexican influences of the owners, interior designers and decorators… and a great stylistic sensitivity.
