Craig & Company

to one of our favorite home offices.. Our client, a leader in the fashion and beauty industries, asked us to look at Chanel's suite at the Ritz as a point of departure— high contrast, striking silhouettes and lush materials. We added a strong shot of red to the cream, black and camel palette. Although Chanel had an apartment above her shop close by, still there at 31 rue Cambon, she moved to the Ritz in 1937 making suite No. 302 her own until her passing in 1971.

As she once said, "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury."

Many years ago, when renovating a Park Avenue family apartment, part of the program was designing a middle school boy's bedroom. Fast forward seventeen diplomas later and we were hired by this same young man, Darren Smith MD, to design his private plastic surgery clinic at the Ritz Tower -- a fun change of pace from our usual projects.
