Library

Simple, Stately and Chic
In this library, custom millwork sets the tone for a comfortable living space. A beautiful reflection of Stan Topol’s design principles, this room—which dramatically plays light against dark neutral hues—is simple but sophisticated, chic yet understated. “Glamour doesn’t have to be flashy,” says the designer. “We believe that style does not mean that one has to be stylish.”
