You can sip with us, at our home bar

High spirits with Hines Collective

In the heart of this Manhattan duplex, the ‘Speakeasy’ media room contains a custom wall finish, an upholstered ceiling in velvet by Claremont; the perfect getaway from usual parties, designed by Hines Collective, founded by Devin Hines. The sofa is upholstered in performance fabric by Holly Hunt for ultimate comfort, complemented by the “Sunburst” coffee table, which is as whimsical as its atmosphere. The room is a swanky contrast from the earthy tones of the rest of the house, with the hammered gold bar and a dark oxblood crimson to set the mood of the party.

Beyond the shelf with Beyond Designs

The rich elements create a sense of style and an inviting atmosphere for your next gathering.
