The Perfect Backdrop for a Penthouse Filled with Collectible Design

A New York Penthouse Designed as a Dialogue Between Art and Design

Interior designer Jessica Gersten has always possessed an instinctive sensitivity to proportion, materials, and the balance of detail, shaped in large part by her early career in fashion before her transition into interior design. “I did not recognize it at the time, but I now understand that, on a broader level, the connection between fashion and interiors was inherent, which made the transition feel entirely natural.”

The owners wanted the residence to revolve around a thoughtfully curated collection of furnishings while showcasing the artists represented in their exceptional art collection. Jessica commissioned Emmanuel Simon, Vincenzo de Cotiis, Emmanuel Jonckers, Rogan Gregory, Rick Owens, and Steven Haulenbeek to create bespoke pieces for the home.
