In the center of the former studio, which has been
halved by a new partition wall, is a custom dining table surrounded by woven cane and steel office chairs
that resemble cantilevered Cesca midcentury chairs;
the tubular-chrome-steel-and-leather Wassily chairs
are originals by Marcel Breuer for Knoll. Artwork
on the table includes a slumped ceramic pitcher by
Clayton Bailey and an octagonal metal-mesh piece
by Peter Rosenfeld. A hinged wall-size door closes
off the room and Brown uses an arched man-door cut
into the movable wall — inspired by doors in Morocco
— to go in an out of the space during winter months
when he shuts off the high-ceilinged space to save
heat. In the living room, visible in the background is
Brown’s untitled blue and yellow gouache painting
on paper, 2002, above bookshelves he built. The red
leather-covered sofa is from DWR.
