"A Family Affair\nVersatility and Comfort for a Shared New York Pied-\u00C0-Terre\nInterior designers Stephen Sills and James Huniford used a warm palette for a family's apartment in Manhattan's Sherry-Netherland hotel. \"What they wanted was a stylish envelope that would work as a backdrop for them when they visited New York,\" says Huniford. The drawing is by Donald Judd.\n\"The fabrics are a lot of tweedy things\u2014wool, viscose\u2014strong stuff,\" says Huniford.\n\nThe floorcovering in the living room is sisal, woven in France. Like most of the furnishings in the pied-\u00E0-terre, the beveled side table is from Dwellings, Sills and Huniford's line.\nThe sunny but subdued colors the designers used throughout the living room were maintained in the two bedrooms, with a slight tweaking of the shade. \"Here we used a different-color plaster, tinted ivory, though it was in the same family,\" remarks Sills. Carpet from Stark.\nThe master bedroom. \"We remained conscious, especially in the bedrooms, of the hotel ambience\u2014we used benches for turndowns, functional tables between or beside the beds for lamps and clocks, comfortable reading chairs with good lights,\" says Huniford.\nThe project, which took about eight months, was overseen by the daughter, but the parents were involved, too. \"The mother, who is an artist, had lots to say about the fabrics,\" Sills says.\n\nElsewhere in the room, the lamp, chair and Parsons desk are from Dwellings."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
