This Madison Avenue apartment explores contrast between classic proportions and darker materials. The living room is centered around a black fluted plaster fireplace. A lacquered ceiling reflects light above textured plaster walls, while Grigio Carnico marble trims add definition. The dining room introduces more traditional molding, creating a subtle shift in character. In the kitchen, blackened slatted wood cabinetry is paired with Quatre Saison marble, forming a strong and monolithic composition. The office is finished in cherry wood with black lacquer accents, creating a focused and intimate environment. The primary bedroom connects directly to the bathroom through glass doors, where travertine and marble create a calm palette.
