A parchment sheathed salon in the New York townhouse of ophthalmologist and gallery owner Dr Stephen Kelly designed by Geoffrey Bradfield and the late Jay Spectre features a six-panel 1920s lacquered and incised screen by Eileen Gray and a pair of club chairs covered in a geometric patterned Fortuny fabric. ‘La Trinité’, a bronze sculpture by Jan and Joel Martel, was purchased from the estate of Geoffrey Beene. * Photo by @jeffhirschphotography for @newyorksocialdiary Merci @the_london_list for sharing * #stephenkelly #artdeco #modernluxe #modernluxury @geoffreybradfield #jayspectre #1990sdesign #parchmentwalls #eileengray #fortuny #bronzesculpture #janmartel #joelmartel #geoffreybeene #neutralrooms #neutrals #restrainedelegance https://www.instagram.com/p/BsS7nD1lH9j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14hl09ag5092n

The only evidence of the dining room at Villa Necchi Campiglio dating from Piero Portaluppi’s time is this one dating from 1935. Sometime after 1938, only three years after the sisters Necchi moved into the villa, they engaged Tomaso Buzzi, Milan’s in demand interior designer, to transform Portaluppi’s minimalist design into an evocation of patrician Milanese elegance through the lens of current fashion. Though the furniture and decor changed, the rich vellum sheathed walls and extraordinary stucco bas-relief ceiling decorated with exotic plants, stars and galleons remained. Out went the Michele Marelli-designed furniture and in came 18th-century-style furniture and chandelier, and tapestries made in Brussels in between the late 16th-and-early-17th centuries. #villanecchi #villanecchicampiglio #pieroportaluppi #tomasobuzzi #michelemarelli #parchmentwalls #basrelief #belgiantapestry #1930sdesign #artdeco #modernism #soberdesign #milandesign #iconicarchitecture #milaninteriors #milaneseinteriors #pastandpresent #beforeandafter #patriciantaste #soberelegance #luxuriousmaterials (at FAI - Villa Necchi Campiglio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnRHFRXAY6m/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17lnq2yx64t6m
