A 6,268-Square-Foot Art Gallery–Inspired Luxury Residence at 111 West 57th Street, New York Featuring Roche Bobois and High-End Contemporary Furnishings

Imagine stepping into the Manhattan home of a renowned art collector and cultural investor, whose refined eye shapes every inch of their surroundings. At 111 West 57th Street, one of the most coveted addresses on Billionaires’ Row, this 6,268-square-foot living room merges Art Gallery–Inspired High-End Contemporary Interior Design with statement furnishings from Roche Bobois and other global brands.

This residence was envisioned not simply as a luxury living room, but as a living artwork—a bold, sculptural composition that reflects both functionality and emotional resonance. With a budget of USD 154,000 (approx. 200 million KRW), every detail was orchestrated to transcend conventional luxury and embody the cultivated identity of its owner.

This residence was envisioned not simply as a luxury living room, but as a living artwork—a bold, sculptural composition that reflects both functionality and emotional resonance.

Design Story

The design narrative was guided by a concept of “Sculptural Elegance and Emotional Nuance.” Here, the living room takes on the aura of a gallery installation. Rather than existing as a static background, it is an active work of art. Each line, curve, and surface was carefully curated to create rhythm and resonance across the space.

A rich tonal palette—deep umbers, silken neutrals, and glimmers of metallic accents—provides the backdrop. Into this, uniquely crafted furniture and statement pieces were inserted like sculptures on display. From Roche Bobois’s Vibrato floor lamp to custom stainless-steel consoles and artisan-crafted tables, the furnishings act as both functional objects and emotional touchpoints.

The approach balances austerity and warmth: polished stone and stainless steel convey modernism, while brushed fabrics and natural woods infuse human intimacy. The result is an environment that not only functions as a living room but also narrates the intellectual and cultural life of its owner
