A part-time residence in the Waldorf Astoria Chicago, this once-traditional penthouse called for a strong point of view and a timeless sense of glamour, always with comfort at the forefront. We curated artisanal furnishings and finishes with a masculine edge, creating a sensory palette of luxury linens, mohair, bronze and exotic woods in monochromatic schemes. Designed with a sense of flow and progression, each room connects to views of the city skyline. In the entry, a custom hand-cast glass table displays a Helmut Newton monograph—an evocative nod to the owner’s taste and the residence’s contemporary, cosmopolitan character.
