Luxury House Tour in New York | One Manhattan Square | Dining Room

Step inside a 1,487-sq-ft luxury home at One Manhattan Square in New York. This dining room blends premium design, modern comfort, and timeless elegance.

In Manhattan, a global art investor resides in a 1,487 SF luxury residence that overlooks the city’s sweeping skyline. Designed with a refined sense of balance, this dining room features Cassina’s sculptural Sengu Table, paired with curved Dudet chairs, and accented by B&B Italia’s iconic Terminal One armchair—all under the soft glow of contemporary pendant lighting.

This is not merely a dining room—it is a curated gallery of proportion, symmetry, and luxury. The composition transforms the act of dining into a ritual, where architectural order, skyline views, and high-end furniture converge to create a space of sophistication and cultural resonance.

Design Story

The design narrative unfolds with a pursuit of geometric precision and harmony. Anchored by a sculptural oval table, the layout is strictly symmetrical—ten Cassina Dudet chairs encircle the table in perfect rhythm, mirroring the architectural grid of the Manhattan skyline beyond.

Pendant lamps from HAY float above in an even triad, introducing a vertical rhythm that recalls gallery installations. Beneath, a grid-pattern rug grounds the space with texture and visual continuity. The result is a dining room that transcends function, offering the gravitas of a curated art installation within the intimacy of home.

Homeowner Q&A

Favorite Element

“The moment when the pendant lights align with the skyline beyond—it feels like the city itself has become part of my dining ritual.”

Biggest Challenge & Solution

The challenge was maintaining intimacy within a relatively compact 1,487 SF residence while ensuring grandeur. The solution lay in symmetry—using proportional design and carefully chosen high-end furniture to create a sense of scale and importance.

Budget

The project was completed at USD 150,000, reflecting the integration of Cassina, B&B Italia, and designer lighting to achieve a gallery-quality dining experience.

Lifestyle Impact

For a collector and global traveler, this space elevates dining into a ceremonial experience. Hosting dinners against the Manhattan skyline becomes an event, with Cassina and B&B Italia pieces embodying the fusion of art, design, and daily ritual. The balance of symmetry encourages calm focus, while the architectural furniture serves as conversation pieces—whether entertaining visiting curators, CEOs, or close friends.

This room embodies the New York Luxury Residence lifestyle: a setting where Louis Vuitton dinnerware, Versace Home accents, or Roche Bobois accessories can be seamlessly layered, enhancing the dialogue between high design and personal ritual.

Best Designers Furnitures Recommendation

• Dining Table: Cassina Sengu Table – conceived by Patricia Urquiola, this sculptural piece draws inspiration from the Japanese tradition of rebuilding shrines. Its layered dialogue between solid wood, marble, and ceramic gives it a monumental yet poetic presence.
• Two‑Seat Settee (Living Room): Cassina Dudet Sofa – channeling 1970s flair, this elegant settee features a single continuous line of sinuous tubular support that forms the legs, arms, and backrest around a plush central cushion. Designed for disassembly, it echoes modern sustainable intentions.
• Lounge Armchair / Chaise Longue: B&B Italia Terminal 1 by Jean‑Marie Massaud – a sculptural hybrid that blurs the line between armchair and chaise longue. Its glossy shell appears to float atop a matte steel frame, creating a dynamic and poetic form that adapts to both relaxation and display.
• Pendant Lighting: [HAY Brim Pendant Lamp](https://www.hay.com/hay/lighting/pendant-lamp/brim-pendant](https://www.hay.com/hay/lighting/pendant-lamp/brim-pendant) – designed by Rui Pereira & Ryosuke Fukusada, this ambient pendant revives classic glass lamp typologies with modern construction. Its fluted pressed-glass shade softly diffuses light from a concealed internal sphere, and it’s available in clear, smoked, or green glass variants.
