This apartment in the United Nations Plaza building was recently featured in The New York Times T Style Magazine. As usual, author Pilar Viladas covers the cream of the housing crop. The story's focus is on the depth and multiple layers of "stuff" that is beautifully edited and displayed within the space. It's colorful without being clownish, and a terrific example of "modern cozy." It's our new favorite, so check it out...
The 1,700-square-foot apartment is owned by Benjamin Pardo (senior vice president for design at Knoll) and David Gresham (industrial designer and former global vice president of design for Steelcase). The renovation was designed by Joe D'Urso.
