I was happy to receive these images yesterday of the room designed by Robert Stilin for this year’s 2017 Kips Bay Decorator’s Showhouse.  The room was inspired by a contemporary European salon where luxury and comfort coexist.  The selection of collectible furniture and respectful art collection are set against a backdrop of dry and subtle marmorino plaster walls.  Details such as of Cashmere from by Loro Piana, alpaca fabrics, and layered carpets lend a luxe tone to the functional and relaxing room.  Robert describes his vision as ” For this room, I created a space that showcases the type of work we do for our private clients in the city, a space for a New Yorker who is well traveled, sophisticated, interested in arts and politics and who has amassed a great collection of art, furniture, and objects.  we see the homeowner using this space to relax with a book, or to entertain friends and family.”  Sounds like the perfect combination.
