"Manhattan Minimalist\nA prewar duplex on central park provides a subtle backdrop for artful elements\nDesigner Victoria Hagan and architect Oscar Shamamian took a modern approach to a duplex in New York.

Manuel Canovas sofa and club chair fabric.\nOne gunmetal-gray wall in the dining room provides \"a strong backdrop and balances the artwork,\" says Hagan, who suggested it be given a wax finish for a stonelike effect. Manuel Canovas wool chair fabric. Marvin Alexander Venetian chandelier.\nHagan sits in the living room, where a New York City seal is flanked by a pair of bronze sconces, from Bernd Goeckler Antiques. Carpet from Beauvais.\nApril Gornik's Viagra is the focal point of the dining room. Milton Avery's Burlesque hangs at right.\nThe colors and textures in the library were inspired by Central Park, which exists just outside the window. Jean Dubuffet's Personages des Legendes hangs above the fireplace. The linen chenille on the armchair is from Holly Hunt. The suede on the sofa is from Edelman Leather.\nIn deciding on the design of the master bedroom, Hagan focused on the idea of \"retreat\" and \"private space.\" Stark white walls and bedding lend a simple, peaceful feeling. Drapery fabric from Manuel Canovas. Elizabeth Eakins hooked wool carpet.\n\"Master bedrooms should be comfortable,\" says Hagan. At the same time, she believes, they should be unique or \"not too stereotypical.\" A Donald Deskey tubular chair joins a Lucite-and-chrome desk.
