We are pleased to announce our participation in this fantastic Designer Show House benefiting the Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Enjoy adventurous design in a gorgeous setting while supporting a great cause!
Avram Rusu Interiors has designed a room for an intimate and relaxed salon-style New Year’s Eve celebration.
Avram Rusu is also pleased to announce the introduction of a new lighting collection. The Confetti Chandelier was designed especially for the occasion to evoke an explosion of confetti and champagne bubbles. Delicate branches of high-polished brass disks are embellished with Swarovski crystals and semi precious stones. The collection will be expanded to include sconces, table and floor lamps.
A tall folding screen was designed and commissioned by Avram Rusu specifically for this room. Its six lacquered panels that run in ombré from cream though grey and into dark black are heavily gilded through the central portion with meticulous gold leafing. The screen was inspired by the work of op-art painter Richard Anuszkiewicz as well as traditional Art Deco techniques. The screen will be available as a limited edition run of twenty pieces available through Avram Rusu.
The Show House takes place in an exquisite 75’ courtyard mansion designed by Frederick Sterner and built in 1921. The house is located at:
2 East 63rd Street
New York City
To benefit Susan G. Komen for the cure.
FLOAT Halo is a modern interpretation of the classic chandelier. The fixture is hand made to order by local artisans and craftspeople.
In this version, the gold leaf is applied by a local artist. Hardware is plated with 24K Gold and hand polished. The half etched bulbs are custom sandblasted for us to achieve a combination of diffuse and direct light.
