Transforming a Greenwich Village townhouse patio into a tented lounge titled "After Dark Aerie," this Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse space pays homage to 1970s NYC glamour and counterculture. Complete with low-slung daybeds, animal-print upholstery, and an immersive soundscape curated by an original Studio 54 DJ, the room crafted a deeply nostalgic and comfortable nocturnal escape.
“Erik Gensler dressed a former patio (you read that right) for Greenwich Village After Dark, channeling the slightly sleazy, sartorial glamour of 1970s New York, one slipper chair at a time.”
