The Elegance of Water: Designs by Hyejin

For those of you who know how to look beyond the blinders for inspiration (and that’s most of you), you’ll definitely appreciate the amazing breadth of Hyejin’s vision. The spaces she has designed are not only breathtakingly beautiful, they are eminently livable—a feat that’s not easy to pull off while maintaining the simplicity of form that much of her work displays.

Nests Imperial or Fashionably Feathered

A room in the building at 20 Pine Street, Armani/Casa, pictured in a sales brochure, has an oak table and cabinets, all by Armani/Casa. Joining the ranks of the interior-designer-branded residences in New York–Phillipe Starck-designed apartments in Lower Manhattan, and the Peter Marino’s residences uptown are fashion-designer-branded residences.

At 485 Fifth Avenue, the fashion designer Peter Som lent his name and a pattern from one of his spring dresses.

The runway, designed by Armani/Casa, the interior design arm of the Armani empire, is the centerpiece not of a fashion showroom but of an 8,000-square-foot sales office for the building, a condominium conversion with 409 units that will go on sale this month. Armani/Casa designed both the public spaces and the apartments in the Zen-rigorous Armani aesthetic, with massive clean-lined furnishings and earth and fog colors that wash like a tide over the public spaces.

If by “we” we include “architects”. Architecture could use a little more looking-good, a good branding and marketing campaign, something popular yet glamorous, to sell good architecture to a wider audience.
