Drawing inspiration from iconic eras in fashion’s greatest cities—1920s Paris, 1970s London and 1980s Tokyo—NoHo’s newest luxury condo, 40 Bleecker, tapped Colony co-op to design three turnkey model units.
Situated on the seventh floor of the boutique 12-story Rawlings Architects-designed building, the units were designed to “encapsulate the lasting relevancy of global fashion history, the independent American design spirit and the unapologetic style of downtown Manhattan,” says Jean Lin, Colony’s founder and creative director.
From the KWH oak étagère with brass insets in the Paris20 residence inspired by the timeless elegance of Coco Chanel and the Art Deco movement to a vintage Percival Lafer red leather sofa in the London70 unit channeling both leather-clad punks and tailored tartans of Savile Row, each object has been carefully curated.
