The goal was to craft a home at one with its magnificent location, full of color and personality, that reflected the client\u2019s joyful spirit. The interiors take cues from the brilliant light and colors of the ocean, where a range of blues segue into a spectacular symphony of orange, yellow, and pink at sunset. There are pedigreed treasures aplenty, including Gio Panti rattan chairs, Pierre Chapo\u2019s classic eye-form coffee table, Hans Wegner dining chairs, and a Charlotte Perriand cabinet that, despite its elevated status as a design trophy, feels perfectly at home thanks to its humble conception and hardworking materials.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">West 17h Street | New York, New York<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/elegant-silhouettes-neutral-dining-rooms-fall-love\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-92706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/west-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"1063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/west-17.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/west-17-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/west-17-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/west-17-640x800.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/west-17-450x563.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/west-17-20x25.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/west-17-225x281.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Billy Cotton designed this newly renovated, full-floor apartment in the Flatiron District for a Southern gentleman with a deep appreciation for 1970s glamour and European savoir faire. In the living and dining rooms\u2014both crowned by Isamu Noguchi paper globe lanterns \u2014the walls are caramel brown, echoed in the woven window coverings and the dhurrie carpet. The Guillerme et Chambron slipper chairs and Roger Capron cocktail table, as well as the 1970s travertine table and midcentury steel dining chairs, were acquired at the Paris flea market Les Puces. The bedroom is enrobed in dark blue paint, with Afra and Tobia Scarpa\u2019s Soriana seating in chocolate velvet, and a custom faux-crocodile headboard that nods to the homeowner\u2019s childhood on a Louisiana crocodile farm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/inspirations\/new-products\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article-image&amp;utm_content=covethouseblog-topids23&amp;utm_campaign=topids23&amp;utm_term=mmachado1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-92707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-blog-1_shawtyyyyyz-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-blog-1_shawtyyyyyz-6.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-blog-1_shawtyyyyyz-6-300x90.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-blog-1_shawtyyyyyz-6-768x230.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-blog-1_shawtyyyyyz-6-640x192.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-blog-1_shawtyyyyyz-6-450x135.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-blog-1_shawtyyyyyz-6-225x68.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-blog-1_shawtyyyyyz-6-20x6.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Beverly | Beverly Hills, California<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wonderful-living-rooms-contemporary-design-style\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-92708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/beverly.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"1190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/beverly.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/beverly-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/beverly-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/beverly-640x896.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/beverly-450x630.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/beverly-225x315.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/beverly-20x28.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For this archetypal 1920s Spanish-style house in Beverly Hills, Billy Cotton conjured a relaxed, youthful atmosphere in opposition to the formality of many nearby homes. Painting the living room\u2019s beamed ceiling white significantly altered the space\u2019s complexion, providing a luminous backdrop for texture-rich furnishings. A low-slung yellow velvet Mario Bellini sofa sits on a Moroccan carpet laid wall to wall, while a built-in banquette boasts multicolored Majorcan ikats. The kitchen\u2019s wallpaper is by artist Alviro Barrington \u2014 part of a collection of contemporary art with works by Laura Owens, Tracey Emin, Richard Prince, and Josh Smith. The result: an unpretentious environment in sync with the rhythms and rituals of contemporary life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/in-stock\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article-image&amp;utm_content=covethouseblog-topids23&amp;utm_campaign=topids23&amp;utm_term=mmachado1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-92710\" src=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-article-blog_summer-salessss-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-article-blog_summer-salessss-8.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-article-blog_summer-salessss-8-300x90.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-article-blog_summer-salessss-8-768x230.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-article-blog_summer-salessss-8-640x192.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-article-blog_summer-salessss-8-450x135.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-article-blog_summer-salessss-8-225x68.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/banner-article-blog_summer-salessss-8-20x6.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">East 57th Street | New York, New York<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/living-room-ideas-contemporary-modern-design-lovers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-92711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/east-57.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/east-57.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/east-57-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/east-57-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/east-57-640x433.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/east-57-450x304.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/east-57-225x152.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/east-57-20x15.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Artists Lisa Yuskavage and Matvey Levenstein\u2019s Upper East Side apartment had been previously renovated in a 1990s architectural style, with oddly curved walls and dated door details. The pair stressed the importance of living amongst their own deeply personal artworks, so Billy Cotton bathed the apartment in tranquil shades of gray to ensure that the paintings were the stars of the show. The furnishings complement the gray-on-gray palette, accentuating the mood of contemplative repose. Sparingly deployed, signature pieces by Pierre Paulin, Maria Pergay, Achille Castiglioni, Ren\u00e9-Jean Caillette, and Giovanni Offredi offer sculptural integrity without disrupting the space\u2019s serene composition \u2014 an aura of calm animated solely by the play of natural light across surfaces and materials.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Greenwich Street | New York, New York<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/inspirations\/best-id-from-new-york-and-new-jersey\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article-image&amp;utm_content=covethouseblog-topids23&amp;utm_campaign=topids23&amp;utm_term=mmachado1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-92712\" src=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/greenwich.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/greenwich.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/greenwich-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/greenwich-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/greenwich-640x415.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/greenwich-450x292.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/greenwich-225x146.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/greenwich-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For artist Cindy Sherman\u2019s triplex penthouse in the West Village, Billy Cotton wanted to distill the architectural envelope by utilizing a limited palette of humble materials. The boldest of these gestures, reflecting the unconventional spirit of the artist herself, was their decision to cover the walls and ceilings in a highly textured popcorn plaster that is typically associated with 1970s Midwest motels. More nuanced than the predictable white walls of a standard gallery, the plaster treatment nevertheless provides a uniform backdrop for Sherman\u2019s extensive art collection, which encompasses everything from works by blue-chip contemporary artists to eccentric thrift-store finds. Throughout the kitchen and bedrooms, maximalist application of plaster, stainless steel, and linen ultimately imbues these quotidian materials with a kind of unpretentious luxury.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">SEE ALSO<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.covethouse.eu\/blog\/miminat-designs-aligning-prosaic-poetic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Miminat Designs: Aligning The Prosaic With The Poetic<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\/\/<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What do you think?
