AFA Summer 2019

2019 Antiques & Fine Art 71 Sasha Bikoff transformed a typical contemporary country home with massive stacked stone fireplaces, heavy moldings and pockets of dark, dull space into a chic, glamorous flowing expanse. The clients wanted a home infused with their fashion-forward city aesthetic that would also serve as a setting to display the artist wife’s abstract paintings. Sasha answered with a contemporary, edgy take on a Hudson Valley getaway that references the surrounding scenic beauty in subtle ways. Painting the fireplace white created the effect of abstract sculpture while retaining the stone’s original surface. The rug is patterned after a pebbled river bed, the craggy-textured coffee tables are formed from volcanic pumice stone, and a pair of armchairs offer repose on cloud-like poufs of Tibetan lambswool. The chaise is vintage 1970s Milo Baughman, draped with a custom silver fox throw; a sectional sofa by Francesco Binfaré encloses the seating group. Lindsey Adelman’s Atomic Branching Chandelier adds architecture and volume while keeping a light, spacious feeling. At left, a painting by the client provides the singular chromatic note.
