New work by Benjamin Vandiver out now in the fall issue of Galerie magazine. Writer Kathleen Hackett observes, “What happens when a designer with a granular approach to interiors takes on a client with big-picture thinking? If the three-bedroom apartment in New York’s West Village…is any indication, the answer is a warm, welcoming environment with grand gestures punctuated by intimate moments.”
Vandiver shares, “I saw my job as helping [my client] translate her big-picture thinking into the language of home, helping her to refine and even discover her personal taste along the way. And by the end, the space felt fully her. It doesn’t reflect just her style but also an expansion of it, maybe even a version of herself she hadn’t quite imagined yet.”
In the sitting room, a Peter McRury artwork overlooks a vintage Fritz Hansen chair upholstered in a nubby Kravet fabric.
