“Hail Stephen!” was the heading of a post I wrote for my blog The Art of the Room in 2014, featuring the house that would launch the career of one of America’s finest interior designers, Stephen Sills, whose singular and inimitable style is the epitome of classic, timeless chic and something indescribable: the sublime. * “Hail Stephen!” at http://theartoftheroom.com/2014/07/hail-stephen/ * @stephensillsassociates #stephensills #classicallyinspired #americanchic #classicchic #interiordesign ##collectedandcurated #singularstyle #1980sdesign #1980sinterior https://www.instagram.com/c_w_interiors/p/BxUMsw_JCc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xd7xrcjjn9b1

In1825 Crown Prince Frederick William received a farmhouse with land for Christmas from his father. With the expertise of architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, who drew inspiration from archaeological studies at Pompeii and Herculaneum, Charlottenhof  became a proper Potsdam palace on the grounds of Sanssouci Park. The dining room’s precise and monumental decor was a direct reflection of excavations at Pompeii.

The study in the Fifth Avenue apartment of Angela Westwater, partner in Sperone Westwater Gallery, and her husband, David Meitus, owner of Stadium New York (purveyor of fine surfaces). Originally conceived by Meitus, who also uses the room as his dressing room, as an Italian Renaissance studiolo complete with leather walls, after assessing this plan as impractical he brought in artist Jane Kaplowitz, who created illusionistic perspective murals. In this view of the study we encounter a grand Italian palazzo as a backdrop to Meitus’s collection of Egyptian, Byzantine, Roman and Indian antiquities, with Art Deco furniture from Hugues Chevalier.

Sober, classic elegance defines the vast entry hall in the West Hollywood residence of the late fashion designer Gustave Tassell, where T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings’ iconic Klismos designs and Ancient Greek and Roman fragments and vessels float in stoic isolation. * From the page of fashion designer @ralphrucci * #gustavetassell #fashiondesinger #designershome #classicallyinspired #classicalfragments #antiquities #greekantiquities #ancientfragments #robsjohngibbings #throbsjohngibbings #klismos #classicalelegance #soberelegance #refined #classic #classichic #blackandwhiterooms #interiordesign https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs0SYiglICx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5lkbd4dx5b5r

A corner view of the study in Angela Westwater and David Meitus’s Jed Johnson-designed Fifth Avenue apartment several years ago features a mural by artist Jane Kaplowitz based on a sculpture by Antonia Canova. African headdresses and a Navajo mask on a Bugatti stand frame a leather Citizen chair from Hugues Chevalier. The photograph is by Rob Wynne, the oil on paper by Susan Rothenberg.
