Sarah Abdallah, founder and CEO of Functional Creative Design, invites us for a look around her latest impressive project: a refurbished pied-à-terre on the Upper East Side that she designed for a client seeking a luxurious retreat to escape to. (The home is situated inside a 120-year-old landmark limestone building by Carrère & Hastings—the architectural firm best known for The Frick Collection and The NY Public Library buildings.) Tasked with creating a space that felt like “the dreamiest suite at a boutique hotel,” Abdallah focused on durable materials and soft textures, including: a serene gray wall covering from Phillip Jeffries’ commercial line that mimics silk, unique furnishings from DDC, along with a pair of Hans Wegner Elbow chairs adorning a Saarinen Tulip table; and handcrafted Liaigre pieces: Grume bench, Longitude desk and Chantecaille table lamp, plus an Aspre lounge chair and a Cravache armchair covered in Holly Hunt linen and leather. All these touches allow for easy entertaining and inspire a sense of tranquility, ambiance, and balance.
