In refurbishing this remarkable triplex apartment in the heart of Mayfair, the design brief called for bespoke wardrobe solutions that would offer more than storage.
The Challenge
In the comprehensive restoration of a distinguished triplex apartment at 60 Curzon Street in London’s Mayfair district — a location renowned for its Art Déco heritage. The objective was to design bespoke wardrobe solutions that seamlessly blended functionality with the opulent aesthetics of the era. The challenge lay in crafting storage that not only served its practical purpose but also resonated with the apartment’s overarching design narrative, characterised by a harmonious fusion of historical elegance and contemporary luxury.
The Solution
Drawing inspiration from the rich materiality and decorative elements emblematic of the era, a series of custom wardrobes were meticulously designed with interiors lined in sumptuous, textured fabrics. This choice evoked the tactile opulence of the period while providing a protective environment for garments. Complementing the fabric interiors, hand-finished brass handles and trim were incorporated, their warm, golden tones echoing the luxurious metal accents prevalent in the design. The brass elements were carefully patinated to achieve a timeless elegance, ensuring they harmonised with other design features within the residence.
The Result
The completed wardrobes stand as a testament to the successful integration of Art Déco-inspired design principles within a contemporary living space. Their fabric-lined interiors and brass detailing not only fulfil functional storage needs but also contribute to the apartment’s overall ambiance of refined sophistication. This thoughtful fusion of form and function reflects the residence’s commitment to honouring its historical context while embracing modern luxury, resulting in a living environment that is both evocative and timeless.
