2022 Incollect Magazine 31 Christina Kim Interiors At the top of the grand staircase, designer Christina Kim drew inspiration from the lush and sensual visuals of film director Wong Kar-wai for her tropical sanctuary. A panoramic wallpaper mural from French firm Ananbô encompasses the space in sultry palm trees with an atmospheric dusky rose and green colorway. The sofa is a bespoke piece, based on Sergio Rodrigues’ iconic Tonico midcentury design, the sleek and sculptural side tables are in Calacatta viola marble, and a whimsical five-foot wide rattan ceiling fixture brings to mind a giant-sized, upside-down sunhat.

This ruby-hued beauty by Fisher Weisman Burgioni is a dinner party destination, enveloping guests in glamour. Circular shapes are used repeatedly to soften the large square room and create intimacy. To add architectural interest to the upper level, a five-tier Constellation chandelier of gilded steel and paper mache cylinders from the Fisher Weisman Collection hangs at the center of the room, with matching single pendants at each of the four corners. Pedestals of the same design are topped with gilt urns planted with boxwood and ivy, an oval dining table with vintage dining chairs center on rays of ruby and neutral tones in a custom circular-shaped starburst patterned rug. And even when the lights are low, a glowing triptych by Andrew Fisher painted in 24-carat gold leaf and ink wash and spanning an entire wall is certain not to be missed. Photo: Nathan Schroder
