Gold Coast, Chicago
For this full-floor residence in a landmark building in Chicago’s Gold Coast, Abrams Valenti was brought in to furnish a space that marked a meaningful new beginning for the homeowners, a couple coming together under one roof for the first time. The apartment, with its classic herringbone floors, original triple-hung windows, and sweeping views of the lake and park, served as a showstopping backdrop. Building on the recently reinterpreted architecture, the team focused on layering in furnishings that honored the existing envelope while blending two points of view into a unified, gracious whole.
The homeowners brought no prior furniture, choosing instead to shape a shared aesthetic from scratch. A refined palette and sculptural forms bring warmth and ease to the rooms, softening the structure without distracting from the views. Light and openness meets quiet sophistication — most evident in the curated art moments throughout, with each meaningful work placed with consideration and care.
