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.”
