Nirmada: Interior Design in New York City

A couple of days ago I was fortunate enough to score some tickets (they’re sold out for ages) to the Philip Johnson Glass House and compound in New Canaan, Connecticut.

I’ve studied Mr. Johnson’s work since those architectural history days at SCAD, but I was overcome with excitement to see his most intimate creations in person.

We picked the worst day weather-wise and it poured with rain all day long.

But I was grateful for the rain, as it created a wonderful backdrop for appreciating the interiors of the Glass House.

I was most struck by the fact that the interiors included many pieces which I had just installed in an apartment on Central Park West. 60 Years later, mid-century style endures.
