Farther into the home, the 360-degree views might be the most spectacular aspect of the living room, but Mellone’s design choices aren’t too shabby either, and in fact work to only enhance the vistas. The linen sofa, Arden Riddle swivel chairs and deeply colored terracotta rug were custom-made to fit the room’s specifications, while a long industrial-style office table sits behind the couch facing the windows, recalling Halston’s workspace.
“I think there’s basically nothing like it in New York,” Mellone said about the living room. “I feel like we won the lottery, because this main living room, which I think is one of the most important features of the apartment, has views like nothing else in Manhattan has. We used the living room as a hinge for a lot of the design decisions made throughout the apartment.”That plays out in the modern and vintage furniture and accents, which combine to create a timeless aesthetic.
