Interior designer Leyden Lewis turned a dated apartment in a midtown high-rise into a livable modern gallery

We ripped out all that stuff down to the bone.

The collage on the wall is by artist William Kentridge. “They moved in with a lot of big modernist pieces,” Lewis says, referring to the sculptural sofa and banana-colored Eames lounge chair, “which ended up complimenting the interior architecture well.
This view of the living room shows the glass-paneled cube that contains the kitchen. The four framed prints on the back wall are by Ana Mercedes Hoyos. “The clients requested that the Backenzahn stools should act as both a coffee table and a pedestal for art,” Lewis notes.

Ingo Maurer’s two “Canned” hanging lamps are a nod to Pop artist Andy Warhol. “Everything was reconfigured in the apartment,” Lewis says.
