Nirmada: Interior Design in New York City

Rodarte designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy spent their winter doing more than supplying Opening Ceremony with $210 sweatshirts; they released a fabric collaboration with Knoll Luxe, mainly focused on draperies.

The fabrics come in eight styles, each named after a famous American author, and each averaging $315 per linear yard. But it’s the Emerson pattern (second image in the gallery above) which joined other Rodarte fabrics chosen to enter the permanent collection of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. The Emerson is made in Germany and comprised of 30% polyester and 70% rayon, for you Fashion and Interior Design nerds (like you and me!) out there.

Rodarte joins Proenza Schouler in producing for Knoll Luxe, and both collections can be purchased [through Nirmada].

What a reply that would be to someone asking about your new draperies: “Yes, aren’t they nice? They’re Rodarte.”

I am in love…

Today, as everyone recovers from the over-indulgence of the New Year’s celebration, we’re recovering some favorites from the past year.

Our go-to furniture and textile manufacturer of ’08 would definitely be Knoll. This year, Knoll celebrated 70 years as the leader in home and office furnishings, and introduced a revolutionary new luxury textile collection called Knoll Luxe. Combining fashion and home furnishings, Knoll called upon fashion designers Proenza Schouler for their Fall ’08 collection.

Using Knoll Studio and systems furniture collections, we created some much needed office space for the RCS Experience Store here in NYC on Madison Ave. Knoll does this in a streamlined and sophisticated way, which doesn’t distract from the retail element, but adds to the sleek, technical feel of the space.

From office to home, Knoll has something for everyone. For a high-profile residential client of ours on Central Park West, we used Knoll’s studio collection to create the minimal and modern, yet comfortable feeling the client was looking for.
