A masterpiece of modern design, this exceptional top floor, one-of-a-kind Chelsea pied-à-terre was conceived as a "residence as a work of art." Set within a classic Art Deco building, the one-bedroom apartment has been transformed by renowned designer Ghiora Aharoni into a breathtaking open-plan space that merges art, architecture, and design in perfect harmony. Inspired by the meditative compositions of Rothko and Sugimoto, the apartment's interior unfolds in a serene dialogue of light, texture, and form. Walls were removed to create a fluid expanse where hand-applied silver leaf and European oak define the upper and lower walls of the home-evoking the meeting of earth and sky. Concealed lighting behind oak wainscoting and within ceiling coves bathes the interiors in a soft, ethereal glow. With extraordinary attention to detail, the design expresses fluidity and fine craftsmanship. The absence of right angles, curving walls, and sculptural cabinetry create a sense of seamless motion throughout, highlighted by the incredible curve of the metal and glass kitchen cabinets. In the bathroom, titanium tiles wrap the walls and ceiling, while a Black Corian surface flows continuously from wall to vanity to nightstand. The living room and bedroom share a stunning ventless curved fireplace that is open to both rooms.Furnishings by Vladimir Kagan, a custom Jobim two hundred seventy-six coffee table by Aharoni, and other bespoke pieces echo the apartment's graceful silhouettes, blending artful design with modern comfort and are included with the sale.This unique residence embodies a rare fusion of contemporary vision and timeless elegance, offering a tranquil luminous retreat in the heart of Chelsea.Ghiora Aharoni is the founder of The Ghiora Aharoni Design Studio whose internationally exhibited work spans the United States Europe India and Israel.
