High society

Perched above Manhattan’s High Line, this apartment blends punchy colours and soothing hues in the chicest way

DINING AREA

‘We positioned the dynamic sculptural shape of the mustard dining table with a pendant above to set the stage,’ says designer Lucy Harris. ‘Your eye then moves through the space out to the amazing views of the High Line and Hudson Yards.’

THE DESIGNER

Lucy Harris took on this project for an American couple – he is an entrepreneur and she was a lawyer. The owner was so inspired by the design process, that she left her law practice to start training as an interior designer.

THE PROPERTY

Spread over 140 square metres, the apartment features an open-plan arrangement for the kitchen, dining and living areas. There are two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study.

STUDY

'This is a fully immersive colour and sensory experience,' says Lucy.
