We just received an email from Stephen Roberts, an Australian designer based in New York.

He tipped us about the Chelsea Loft, also known as The White Loft. This is a 3,000 square feet loft in Chelsea, New York, which he redesigned completely, together with his team at Stephen Roberts inc. .

The gorgeous loft is bathing in light, with white terrazzo floors carrying the light from the windows through the entire space. The ceiling is almost completely free of lighting, sprinklers and other systems.

The result is a beautiful podium for the furniture set, which was built up around a small vintage Scandinavian collection already owned by the clients. Roberts added classic design objects such as  two vintage Jacobsen Egg chairs in tan leather, and a 1950's Murano glass light fixture.
