This beautiful Central Park Penthouse is situated in the Upper East Side, New York. The home has been designed by Robert Young Architects in collaboration with interior designer Jarlath Mellet.  The home can only be described as tasteful, elegant whimsy, the order of the day for this lovely couple and their two young daughters. Jarlath created a playful retake of the classic design of Upper East Side residences. The result is a space that has a sense of lightness with a nod to tradition.

Traditional parlor chairs covered in an elegant Maharam fabric sit atop a playful wood ring rug in the entryway, setting the stage for a home filled with both humor and refinement. In the living room, a colorful Kyle and Kath rug depicting an oil spill serves as the foundation for a custom JM ottoman in vintage saddle leather, a custom JM chaise, and Suite New York’s Raffles sofa in camel-colored moleskin. The tin-covered kitchen table, a playful take on a farm table by Conran, is juxtaposed with mid-century GioPonti chairs reupholstered in waxed green leather.
