Manhattan House Features Signature Residences by Iconic Designers (Exclusive)

Filed under: Celebrity Design, Architecture & Design

Manhattan House, the iconic, landmarked residential condominium on the Upper East Side, has teamed with renowned Interior Designers James (Ford) Huniford, Celerie Kemble and Rita Konig to create three signature residences at the building. All three residences are part of the Manhattan House's newly unveiled "The Modern Collection," which are brand-new units available in the building that were created in response to a growing demand for larger homes in the city.

The Modern9 (seen in the photo above) designed by James (Ford) Huniford is a three-bedroom, three-bath 3,350-square-foot space featuring a library with wet bar, windowed kitchen, breakfast room, and powder room. It is designed in the spirit of Manhattan House's Pritzker Prize-winning architect Gordon Bunshaft. "I designed the space with a client in mind who has a busy life," Huniford told Luxist. "This is for someone who enjoys the luxury of space and a uniqueness of palette. The space is soothing. It is for people who love art and design. It has a practicalness in the way that it is laid out."

Here's a piece of furniture for those who love geometric shapes and clean lines. The Prismatic Table's design is inspired by the art of origami, although instead of folding paper it's made by folding aluminum. It has three legs, a hexagon-shaped top, and the appearance of being in three pieces. It was originally created back in 1957 by Isamu Noguchi and has just recently been put into production. It is available from Vitra in either black or white, and goes for around £239.

Noguchi Rocking Stool

Filed under: Decor

We recently saw a Noguchi Table that had a beautiful, but simple, design that hinged on a carefully set up balancing system. The Noguchi Rocking Stool, which was designed in the mid 1940s around the same time as the table, uses another interesting balancing act. The kinetic stool was designed for children and moves with the user while it maintains an upright position. It is made of wood to "heirloom quality" specifications and has a polished metal frame. It measures just 14-in. across and 9.5-in. high. Price: $645.
