You could call it kismet, the way collecting led Ilan Cohen to this apartment in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. "When I started, back in 2009, I would buy any contemporary work that I saw," Cohen says.
"But over time I created my own eye and my own taste." Upon his discovery of the practice of queer artist TM Davy, his collection evolved, ultimately becoming fodder for a 2012 group show, co-curated with 1969 Gallery's Quang Bao, thematically focused on The Picture of Dorian Gray. The exhibition opened on Oscar Wilde's birthday and brought a number of new relationships with emerging talent into Cohen's life.
Creating a space that reflected this personal history and provided ample room to nurture and expand on it-fell to Noam Dvir and Daniel Rauchwerger, founders of the architecture and interiors studio BOND. Here's how they made Cohen's loft come together.
SITTING PRETTY
The living area features work by the artists Sam McKinniss (left) and Doron Langberg (center) and a sculpture by Oren Pinhassi. The sofas are by Vipp, the cocktail table is by Thomas Barger, and the side tables are by Alvar Aalto for Artek. A ceiling-height doorway into the bedroom allows for cleaner sight lines and a better sense of scale.
