W H AT ’ S B E T T E R T H A N M AY ? W H E N I T A R R I V E S ,
we know that June, and thus the onset of summer,
shimmers tantalizingly just over the horizon. More
to the point, there are tints galore to liven up the
basic black that is New York’s favorite hue. Finally!
That’s why I always look forward to our May-June
issue, when we trumpet color confi dence with glee.
I believe color is one of design’s most mystifyingly wonderful elements.
It cycles from season to season. It changes with the light. Our perceptions of
what’s hot, palette-wise, do, too. Just look at our Focus on Blush, this year’s
coyest, prettiest pink. And don’t miss our Showroom Style feature on Chris-
topher Coleman’s hue-happy new design boutique in Hudson.
The core of this issue covers the spectrum, from Roy to Biv. There are
the right-on-point tones and pattern language that Elias Asso-
ciates infuses into a classic apartment in The Apthorp. Our
Color Sense pages show off the family aspect of color—that
it’s emotional and full of personality, that there are comple-
mentary hues and contrasting ones, too. Take a glance, and
then another. And enjoy!

Show StopperS for some, May day means
strawberries and champagne. for others, it’s got
labor connotations. for haute design fans, May 1
has come to signify the opening of the annual,
month-long kips Bay decorator show house.
hosted by the kips Bay Boys & girls Club, new
york’s most prominent youth organization, the
42nd annual mother-of-all-design tour de forces
this year moves into one of the surviving glories
of the gilded age: the Mansion on Madison.
technically speaking, 22 of the nation’s leading
designers have dressed up the north wing of
the iconic courtyard structure originally known
as the Villard house, which Mckim, Mead &
White designed and built in 1884. don’t miss it.
kipsbaydecoratorshowhouse.org
the new look decorating has always had its coterie
of grand dames—tastemakers and resources, both.
Brunschwig & fils has long been a queen bee among the
latter, with its d & d flagship showroom the tastiest of
hives for designers of all stripes. even good design needs
periodic refreshing, though. hence the showroom’s very
swell facelift by Brunschwig’s own stephen elrod and
doug garfinkle, much-decorated interior designer Mi-
chael s. smith, and Montreal-based design firm
atelier de l’opera. With its combination of french airs
and american spirit, the updated space should
hold its attraction for years to come. brunschwig.com

artful renovations. Where? the east 39th street
brownstones that once housed the Williams Club.
a dream team—In situ design, lilian B. Interiors,
and artist William engel—orchestrated the transfor-
mation. the interiors take flight from engel’s tonal
fantasias—the blue, teal, pink, green, orange, or yellow
paintings that enliven the corridors of each floor. the
guest quarters mimic the hallway hues, with walls,
furniture, rugs, and bed linens in the same color

GOING GLOBAL From May 17th–May 20th, the 26th
annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF)
sweeps a fl ood tide of the world’s up-to-the-nanosecond
designs into the Javits Center. A mecca for the profes-
sionals, the curious, the trendsetters, the ICFF this year
promises to surpass its promise as our country’s plat-
form for contemporary design worldwide. With its lineup
of exhibitors, special features, and educational options,
it most certainly is the place that maps the latest frontier
of what’s new and what’s next in function, form, and
fabulousness. Public day is Tuesday, May 20th. icff.com
ART FORUM With its juicy spring/summer lineup of exhibits,
The Parrish Art Museum looks the place to be for anyone in
the vicinity of Water Mill in the coming months. Two shows
promise to be particularly eye fi lling. Leading off is Jennifer
Bartlett: History of the Universe—Works 1970–2011, the fi rst
major museum survey of this groundbreaking American art-
ist’s output, on view through July 13th. Next up is the long
overdue and also comprehensive William Glackens, an of-late
undersung but infl uential American painter—he was chair-
man of the American selection committee for the epochal 1913
Armory show—whose ouevre hasn’t been seen en masse in a
half century, from July 20th–October 13th. parrishart.org
CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN To
inaugurate the renovated Costume
Institute, The Metropolitan Museum
of Art hosts Charles James: Beyond
Fashion. Up from May 8th–August
10th, it charts the career of couturier
Charles James (1906–1978), whose
experiments in construction, fit,
and cloth gave us the stuff of fashion
legend—ultra-glamorous, archi-
technically extraordinary garments.
James’s process is covered in depth,
from his fascination with and use of
sculptural, scientifi c, and mathemati-
cal approaches to construct the revo-
lutionary ball gowns for which he is
so well remembered to innovative
tailoring that continues to infl uence
designers today. metmuseum.org

interior designer celebrated for his exuberant color
sense, never intended to step up to the storefront
life. Ever. Yet this past December 15th, he leapt into
it—fabulously—in Hudson, New York. He calls his
Christopher Coleman Collection, an 1,800-square-
foot boutique on the main drag of Upstate’s hip-
happening design destination, a “mid-life crisis.” It
seems anything but.
Housed in a former liquor store that Coleman
has converted to a bright white gallery, the shop, a
design lab of sorts, contains his

precisely curated, seasonally themed mix. The for-
mula? The unique, the eye-catching, and the afford-
able—furnishings, objects, and art, some new, some
vintage, and some repurposed.
Coleman has laser-like attention to detail, one
quality that successful designers and merchants
share. Not only does he put together an intriguing
array of wares, but he makes sure that each has a
carefully descriptive label—in the tradition of Moss—
in beautifully designed, easy-to-read type.
Coleman has defined the shop’s sweet spot
as the weekend gift-giving set looking for anything
from a hostess thank you to a cool enticement for a
20 year old to a toy for a grandchild. “It’s so hard to
find accessories that are interesting and affordable,”
he says, not to mention art and furnishings.
This never-say-never designer plans to switch
out his tonally coordinated displays twice a sea-
son. He went red in February. For the garden-ready,
he shaded April green with woven baskets, boxes,
and large green planters. May promises an ever-
hotter palette, with aquas, oranges, and primaries.
And for the hipster urbanites flocking to the area in
ever-greater numbers, he makes sure there’s always
plenty of black and white. see resources �

architecturally significant buildings fall victim to the
wrecking ball. The Apthorp, the c. 1908 Clinton & Rus-
sell-designed Italian Renaissance Revival building in the
heart of the Upper West Side, owes its existence in part to
this hindsight. The block-long structure, originally built
for William Waldorf Astor, received landmark status in
1968—a mere three years after the creation of the Land-
marks Preservation Committee.
When longtime clients approached Edda Elias, of Elias
Associates, to do a stem-to-stern renovation of their newly
purchased, 3,700-square-foot hideaway at The Apthorp,
she turned out to be the perfect choice. The layout of the
three-bedroom residence was already ideal, with public
rooms up front and private rooms in the rear. Further, the
surviving interior craftsmanship, north- and south-facing
exposures, and 10.8-foot-high ceilings were hard to rival.
Given all that, Elias decided to retain the original floor
plan and surviving neoclassical backgrounds and inject a
more modern feel with carefully selected furnishings and
artwork. “You don’t gain appreciation by repeating your
period or playing it safe. The best jolt and impact comes
from creating a bit of chaos—by mixing architectural ele-
ments and furnishings from different periods and styles,”
says the designer.
52 n e w Y o r k S p a c e S m a g . c o m
“The amazing plasterwork would be difficult to rework
today,” Elias adds. So would the original mosaic flooring and
neoclassical moldings that distinguish the apartment’s ex-
pansive 29-foot-long entry gallery. She left those intact as
well, but formed a perfect foil with a mixture of contempo-
rary furniture and art, including a beautifully scaled, Bruno
Houssin KAO suspension lighting fixture.
The living and dining rooms, which flank a central hallway,
exhibit the same multi-era design language. Bright accent
colors outline the prevalent gray-and-white color scheme
and inject a bit of liveliness. Comfortable yet striking designs
and hardwood floors stained a warm shade of espresso sing
against the backdrop of intricate plasterwork.
"Because the guest bedrooms were meant to be used
less, we went a bit off the design field there," says Elias of the
more colorful, youthful palettes. The master bedroom, on the
other hand, exhibits a dreamlike luxury with neutral tones, a
deep plush carpet, and soft, tactile details galore.
Completely gutted and revamped, the kitchen keeps
to the flow with recycled glass mosaics in a custom gray
and white geometric pattern that complements the white
acrylic lacquer cabinets.
"Juxtaposing periods and styles creates a lot of thought
and interest and makes a space enjoyable for years to
come," says Elias. We just so happen to wholeheartedly
agree. see ResouRces �
graY Scale This page: After com-
pletely gutting the kitchen, Elias lined
the walls with white lacquer counters
and cabinets to create as much functional
space as possible. Glass mosaics in a
custom gray and white geometric pattern
on the walls and light charcoal porcelain
floors add layers of sophistication.
cozY Who ever perpetuated the idea
that a library should be buttoned-
up? In this semi-private room right
off the entry, Elias created a relaxed
ambience by pairing Room & Board's
high-backed Boden chair with a
lively zebra rug from ABC Carpet &
Home. Fornasetti pillow from Barneys.

This page, clockwise from left: In the
master bath, a counter of beautifully
striated Siberian marble provides a

Elias opted for a more laidback feel
and bolder color schemes. Hermes, a
colorful linear painting, forms an
unexpected partnership with a sleek
white desk from Blu Dot and a con-
trasting rug from Madeline Weinrib.
Opposite page: In the master bed-
room, Elias compensated for a more
muted palette by creating interest

bone-like chandelier from Arteriors
Home adds the finishing touch.

“people are afraid of having one color
thread through both private and public spac-
es,” says designer Vicente Wolf. “But you can
do that because those tonalities read totally
differently from room to room depending on
the particular shade or on the light.”
To wit: this traditional center-hall colo-
nial in Scarsdale. The homeowners, fortysome-
thing modernist aficionados with two pre-
teens, were adding a game room to a residence
built in the 1930s. S. Edward Parker III, part-

of Greenwich, had spearheaded a major
interior-exterior renovation in 2007. He re-
turned, collaborating with Wolf on the new
glass-walled annex. Wolf then set about de-
signing comfortably contemporary spaces
throughout that were “gathering friendly.”
(The family loves to entertain.)
Wolf’s first step? Minimizing formal
architectural details simply by “not playing
them up.” Using a fundamentally gray pal-
ette also redirected the focus from these in-
terior flourishes toward a sense of continu-
ous space unbroken by ornamentation. And
by varying gray shades room to room, Wolf
delineated each, yet also achieved a sense of
movement from one to the next. “They are
all tones—there’s not a true brown or true
gray. It’s a very mercurial palette, bluer in
some places, taupier in others.”
The large scale of public rooms ran the
risk of reading as cavernous. Wolf divided
the living room into two more intimate areas
and varied forms in each. Bertoia Diamond
chairs appear in both, but in one they’re
upholstered in a KnollTextiles wool and
set against a low-backed sofa swathed in
Cowtan & Tout velvet, while at
62 n e w Y o r k S p a c e S m a g . c o m
the fireplace end they’re bare and face shel-
ter sofas in identical velvet.
In the dining room, “Sixteen of the
same chairs would have been monotonous,”
Wolf explains. Instead, open forms of Knoll
Brno chairs on one side of the table progress
to more solid upholstered pieces (custom
tub chairs, then double banquettes).
Of course, Wolf’s signature global
touches appear throughout. However, “They
refer to the past but read modern,” he says,
either because of their clean forms (the liv-
ing room’s simple Chinese coffee table) or
materials (the master’s Chinese country
chair reimagined in steel).
The gray palette even continues out-
side to seat cushions of Dedon-furnished
lounging and dining areas. “It gives a
sense of serenity and continuity as well as
rhythm,” says Wolf, and you believe him.

IN DESIGN AND DECORATION, HUE AND VALUE ARE
THE SOURCES OF EMOTION AND PERSONALITY
NOTHING IS MORE PERSONAL OR MYSTERIOUS THAN COLOR. SURE, WE KNOW THERE’S THE SCIENCE OF
the spectrum and the color wheel. Yet each of us sees and responds to a given formulation in our own
way. The watery sea-glass tones that delight the eye of one may well bore another to distraction without
some acid-y contrast. The scarlets, fuschias and oranges that send one person into ecstasy may be the
visual equivalent of nails on blackboard for someone else. Blue and white are like the Fred and Ginger
of décor, always dancing cheek to cheek. Our point is this: color is a world unto itself. Mix it.
Match it. Balance it. Harmonize with it. Play with it. And enjoy. SEE RESOURCES

It ’S probablY Safe to SaY that 41-Year-old
Corvin Matei is one of the few architects and
designers to present hand-drawn sketches to cli-
ents. “As they say, the pencil is the extension of the
mind,” says Matei.
In 2011, under Matei’s guidance, a 70-some-
thing philanthropist from the Midwest bought a
three-bedroom apartment in a 1917 J. E. R. Carpen-
ter building on Park Avenue and 62nd Street. “Giv-
en the time-saving qualities of hand drawings, we
came up with the plans very quickly, before my cli-
ent even closed on the property,” says Matei, whose
Studio for Architecture and Design opened in 2000.
Hand drawings were also appropriate given
that the client has an enviable collection of photog-
raphy, sculpture, and paintings, most from mid-to-
late 20th century, and a profound appreciation of
architecture and art. “Discussing the hand draw-
ings with my client was like talking art with her. It
was a conversation about pure unadulterated ideas
and less about the glossiness of the drawing.”
The plan: unclutter the existing spaces and
update the 3,500-square-foot apartment to the
needs of today’s living while being respectful of
the singular design and character of the building.
(They studied old Carpenter drawings in search
of the original details.) Step one: the architecture.
Matei eliminated the congested maid quarters,
reconfigured the kitchen into a large, open flex-
space, and created passageways in walls to bring
natural light deep into the apartment’s heart. “In
all, we created more open spaces and

organized them around natural light and views to the
city,” says Matei. “The new layout is more lofty yet
works with the original spirit of the building."
Step two: the design. “It was important that
there would be no distinction between the architec-
ture and interior design, and that the spaces read as
one coherent and seamless construct,” says Matei.
What that did not mean was filling the apartment
with neoclassical elements. Rather, Matei and his cli-
ent carefully curated a montage of styles and periods
to suit each space. In the living room, for example,
a curved couch and glass coffee table by Vladimir
Kagan, two Finn Juhl 45 chairs, and a walnut bench by
George Nakashima complement contemporary art by
Beth Lipman, Joel Shapiro, and Ben Zadok.
The finished apartment is a testament to not
only the benefit of hand sketches but also the time-
lessness of understated chic: elegantly designed piec-
es from every period harmonize—both with each oth-
er and with the elegant architecture. As Matei puts it,
“The place feels humble yet sophisticated at the same
time.” see resources �

chairs, says Rubin, are very practical and easy
to wipe down. She designed the fireplace
on an angle, so anyone sitting on the sofa from
Studium would be able to see both the TV and
the ocean. Below: The steel and glass dining
table mimics the colors of the water beyond.
Lucite stools appear to disappear, which empha-
sizes the openness of the free-flowing space.

game plan To create a bar, Rubin clad
an existing structural pier with steel tiles
and then duplicated it. The Missoni fabric
on the Ligne Roset sectional pops with the
wife’s beloved purple, plus complementary
brights. Opposite: An Italian tile mosaic
from Sicis brings in the water shades and a
floral theme that Rubin uses throughout.

other aspects, the colors that wash the exterior of the five-
bedroom house in a shade that resembles a soft summer fog.
Open and airy, the three-level structure houses a sweeping, cen-
tral circular stair. Pushed to the maximum footprint, it also makes
the most of the water views with great expanses of windows and
sliding glass doors that ease the family and their friends into exte-
rior spaces outfitted for relaxing and entertaining—and ultimately
to the pool or the beach.
Rubin’s clients are passionate about the open-plan contem-
porary design that is so much a part of the history of beachfront
architecture in the Hamptons. Why else the streamlined struc-
ture, Poggenpohl kitchen, and array of sleek furnishings from
Brueton, Dedon, Studium, Moura Starr and other redoubts of the
look? On the other hand, the story of the palette—or rather the
backstory—isn’t quite so straightforward. “She loves the color
purple,” says Rubin of the clients whose primary residence she
swathed in those royal tones. The designer continues, “her hus-
band asked that they not make this house in the same shades,
as he was more into water-color hues.” Rubin complied with
his preferred palette in the bedrooms, baths, and public rooms,
where lots of whites accented by aquatic blues and grays mimic
the Atlantic just a catwalk away.
82 n e w Y O r k S p a c e S m a g . c O m
The family room below deck tells the story of another spectrum,
so to speak. Here Rubin went for the gusto that the wife favors at heart.
Her beloved bold brights—plus strong dashes of purple—make their
reappearance in the brilliantly patterned, assertively colored Missoni
fabric covering the Ligne Roset sectional made for sprawling, barstools
from Elite Modern, and game table chairs from Phillips Collection.
As design goes, Rubin’s passes with flying colors. see resources �
quiet timeS Clockwise, from top: The serene
master bedroom suite opens to a private terrace
just for two. In a child’s bath, Rubin clad the walls
in glass tiles and the floor in stainless steel.
This child’s bedroom can sleep four, with a double
bed on the lower level, a twin on top, and a trundle
that pulls out when the nightstand rolls away.

o n t h e e a S t b a n k o f t h e h u d S o n r i v e r a S i t
winds through Columbia County lies a gem of a city that
dates to pre-Revolutionary War days. Just a few decades
back, Hudson, NY, was home to neglected storefronts in
various stages of disrepair, sketchy alleyways, and a few
brave antiques shops. In recent years, though, a burgeon-
ing group of artists, designers, and design enthusiasts
have picked up and moved to the waterside city to open up
home design stores, antiques shops, galleries, and restau-
rants—turning it into the hip getaway it is now.
Despite a somewhat sleepy-town-feel mid-week, Hud-
son comes alive each weekend with excur-
sionists intent on antiquing and design
hunting amid the beauty of the Hudson
River Valley. Culinary bon vivants in search
of the best farm-to-table restaurants, such
as Swoon Kitchenbar and relative new-
comer Fish & Game, are also aplenty. The
fortuitous migration of design-savvy urban
dwellers to this rural haven has also yielded
a huge upside—the restoration of many his-
toric buildings and houses to their former
(and various) architectural glories. GeTTING

roomS of her own Ex-pat Andrea
Brooke, who recently opened Grace &
Favor, a chic, unique, Britain-meets-
Brooklyn design emporium, knows
the joy that comes from having your
own place. After all, the Cotswold
native has gestated the idea for 20
years. In that time, she’s gathered a
wealth of experience in design and
decoration, all of which she brings to
bear in her charming, UK-centric shop
in Williamsburg. Like British design
itself, Brooke’s retail home base is an
idiosyncratic mishmash—everything
from the Andrew Martin Collection to
vintage commemorative plates to
Zoffany and William Morris wallpapers
to a line of candles called True Grace,
“with the scents of home—wood
paneling, parlor leather, and manor
place fires.” Why? “I love the idea that
people can discover anything here
from an important chair, a fun gift, to
a great chandelier.” see ResouRces
