41 Wanting the design to complement the paintings with the Rock-n-Roll vibe, Pepe chooses to travel back to the midcentury’s where Rock-n-Roll was born, and who better to do it than, Essential Home to add the pops of color, and the signature brass and velvet touch typical to the ‘50s & ‘60s. Something noteworthy about this apartment’s design, and typical to the Pepe Calderin Style, is the way he plays with light, the openness, and the flow. the movement from room to room is so organic, it almost feels like water. However, the living room deserves special appreciation. Pepe Calderin thought of everything in this room. Placing a statue in a living room could be risky, but having it look out over the Hudson River and passing boats considering the client’s a big boat liver as well. This is every boat lover’s dream and you can’t imagine the room without it. As the stage is perfectly set, what completes this mid-century essence of rock-n-roll is Loren’s Armchair of Essential Home. The vibrant Armchair echoes through the room and captures the captivating design of this apartment. Interior designer – Pepe Calderin - www.pepecalderindesign.com Photographer - Barry Grossman
