"Diane von Furstenberg's Fashionable Manhattan Penthouse\nThe architects of WORKac build designer and philanthropist Diane von Furstenberg an unconventional live/work space next to the High Line\u2014the city oasis she helped create.\nFashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, the real and the representation, in her Manhattan penthouse.\nThe live/work space, perched atop her Meatpacking District corporate headquarters, was designed by the architecture firm WORKac.\nThe portrait is by Zhang Huan; Von Furstenberg created the leopard-spot carpeting for the Rug Company. The armchair is by Michael Graves.\nSurrounded by Franz West chairs, the \u00C9mile-Jacques Ruhlmann table in Von Furstenberg's office/living area often does double duty as a desk and dining table. A Joan Mir\u00F3 etching, a Francesco Clemente painting, and family photographs are displayed on the windowsill.\nDiane von Furstenberg Home plates, tumblers, and flatware from Bloomingdale's set the table for a luncheon in honor of artist Anh Duong.\nThe mise-en-sc\u00E8ne.\nAn Andy Warhol portrait of the designer is displayed near vintage chairs and a treelike table.\nAbove a vintage Salvador Dal\u00ED sofa is a Duong self-portrait; the sconces are by Andr\u00E9 Dubreuil, and the tables are by Alexandra von Furstenberg.\nA massive concrete staircase cuts through the building; the curtain of steel cables studded with Swarovski crystals reflects light throughout the space.\nIn Von Furstenberg's master suite, the bed is stationed beneath a linen-draped pavilion made of bamboo; the octagonal structure and the fabric were both created by Lilou Marquand. Depicting a clouded sky, the curved wall that separates the bedroom from the bath area was painted by artist Konstantin Kakanias, a longtime friend.\nA Moroccan patchwork coverlet decorates the bed.\nThe table lamp, one of a pair, is a circa-1935 design by T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings.\nBalinese sculptures flank a model of the DVF studio building.\nThe bath area features a freestanding teak tub with classic-style fittings, all by the Water Monopoly; folding screens provide privacy.\nIn the guest room is a Bert Stern photograph of Elizabeth Taylor; the carpet is a Von Furstenberg design for the Rug Company.\nVon Furstenberg, en plein air.\nThe terrace, planted with grasses, sedum, moss, and phlox, is a collaboration between French landscape designer Louis Benech and Town and Gardens."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
