A CHELSEA LOFT'S artful ALCHEMY: REIS DANIEL TURNS industrial INTO OPULENT
In this Chelsea Mercantile loft, raw concrete architecture sets a dramatic stage for refined living. Custom screens, inspired by nouveau regency style, divide the space with elegant authority while serving as sophisticated backdrops for our client's rotating collection of art and antiques. The industrial envelope becomes an unexpected advantage - its stark simplicity allowing carefully curated pieces to command attention. Through a thoughtful balance of custom millwork and bespoke furnishings, we achieved a restrained opulence that transforms this urban shell into a living gallery. Here, concrete and classical pieces engage in perfect dialogue, creating a space that's both museum-worthy and magnificently livable.

When our client requested privacy for his open-concept kitchen without adding walls, inspiration struck. We designed a modular screen system with antique-inspired laser etching, connected by elegant brass clasps. The real magic? Custom-wired Visual Comfort sconces integrated directly into the panels, casting perfect task lighting onto the island workspace. We consistently turn to Visual Comfort for their impeccable quality and finishes - their antique brass fixtures were exactly what this sophisticated solution needed. Sometimes the most innovative designs come from balancing beauty with function, creating a feature that's both architectural solution and artistic statement.
