Primary colors accentuate the clean, bold lines of custom-made furniture from ddc, domus design collection
As time passes, our perceptions of luxury change. For example, the embellished aesthetic that was typical of luxury apartments in the 1990s, may not reflect today's lifestyle.
Located on the 78th floor of the Trump World Tower in New York, this apartment's views were the one thing that didn't need replacing. Babak Hakakian, designer and partner at ddc, updated the 1990s decor to suit a young, urban sensibility.
"The ornate gold and marble fixtures that defined luxury decades ago were replaced using a minimalist palette of primary colors and clean lines," he says.
At the owner's request, the dining space was eliminated, the kitchen minimized, and the master bedroom enhanced with a low platform bed and a flat-screen entertainment system.
The contemporary aesthetic is complemented by custom-made furniture, designed by ddc and produced in its European factories.
Tailor-made furnishings include clean white couches, right-angled chairs, floating desks and counter spaces all specially designed to maximize square footage and keep sight lines clear.
