Holland & Sherry rug.

Living Room
"The furnishings evoke the Art Deco period, but this apartment is not a period piece," Gorrivan says. He designed a deep-seated sectional upholstered in Rubelli's Superwong and trimmed with Houlès's moss fringe. Vintage Willy Rizzo coffee tables. Gilded chairs by French designer Paul Follot date back to the 1920s. A collection of fashion photography by Lillian Bassman is hung in a cluster rather than a grid "to make it less serious and more fun and young."

Door Details
The octagonal detail on the doors in the hallway is pretty and practical: The red leather protects the wallpaper from fingerprints.
