Incollect Magazine 67 CARNEGIE HILL APARTMENT, NEWYORK, NEWYORK The Carnegie Hill apartment dining room is furnished with an artfully curated mix of vintage mid-century and antique pieces, along with bespoke and contemporary selections. A custom-crafted contemporary oval-top black walnut dining table with a sculptural trestle base is paired with a suite of vintage 1970s oak “Razorblade’ dining chairs by Danish designer Henning Kjaernulf for Nyrup Møbelfabrik. This later iteration of his “Razorblade’ style is more streamlined and elemental than earlier designs, the Baroque-like features stripped away, the profile more sculptural. To the left of the portal leading to the kitchen, a floral paper-covered Swedish cabinet in the style of Josef Frank’s 1940s “Flora” cabinet epitomizes the warm modernism Frank espoused and perfectly complements the ambiance. On the opposite side, an antique glass-doored Swedish cabinet dating to the 1800s displays barware and tableware. A vintage 1970s sofa covered in a geometric-patterned velvet energizes the composition with its bold contrast of light and dark. “Lariat” pendant light configuration from Apparatus suspends elongated droplets of etched glass over the length of the dining table, bringing a sense of intimacy to the room.
