Interior Design Artwork in the Sky
At the top-floor apartment of the Central Park Tower in Manhattan, an dining table from the “Forest Walk” series is installed. The project was developed in collaboration with Blainey North for a private residential setting with views over Central Park and the New York skyline.
The table is not conceived as a decorative luxury object, but as an attempt to connect material, memory, and spatial atmosphere. The starting point was again the question of how perceptions of nature can be translated into a reduced architectural form.
Crafted from Italian marble, the stone block was specifically selected in Carrara. The natural veining of the marble recalls light, depth, and overlapping layers within a forest canopy. The work thus continues the “Forest Walk” series, in which nature is not depicted figuratively, but translated into materiality, structure, and spatial effect.
The reduced geometry of the table follows a clear constructive order. Especially in the context of a dense and visually saturated urban environment, it creates a deliberate counterpoint of calm, material presence, and concentration.
The project also demonstrates that architecture, interior design, and functional art are not connected through style or ornament, but through attitude, proportion, and the deliberate construction of atmosphere. Spaces and objects influence perception over time — even when they formally withdraw into restraint.
The author thanks the client and the team of Blainey North for the trusting and precise collaboration.
