A custom bamboo mobile by Jake Coan Design hangs in the Great Room’s fireplace alcove. The house’s original architect, William Henry Kessler, deployed cedar paneling and fieldstone throughout to tie the interior to its surrounding environment.


The elegantly appointed entryway marries the patina of reclaimed wood beams with the earthy embrace of painted brick. A pendant light crafted by Jake Coan Design floats like a golden cloud above, casting a soft glow over the handcrafted walnut bench, by Milan-based Quincoces-Dragò & Partners, and the antique Sanjabi Kurd rug from John Derian. A folding teak room divider from Phantom Hands delineates the entry from the dining room



Jake Coan, a lighting designer, typically uses bamboo to make large-scale ceiling lights, but he scaled things down this year to form a single crumbled leaf out of rice paper from Pearl River Mart in Soho. “It’s inspired by suiseki, the display of ornamental rocks, as well as ikebana. One line, one leaf — that’s enough to be a centerpiece.”
