Neu Nirvana

A vibrant counter to industrial loft living, the Neu Nirvana glistens—a sanctuary amid the seismic shifts of young adulthood.

Designed for an enterprising couple making their first home together in SoMa, the Neu Nirvana exults in contradictions. Its sophisticated languor and youthful hustle occasion spaces made for early mornings and late nights, for starting business plans and impromptu dance parties.

A playful, expressive palette—teal, orange, chartreuse, garnet—teases luxurious Calacatta and Bardiglio marble, carved limestone, and hand-blown glass, as vintage splendors—a Marcel Wanders chaise longue, a Paavo Tynell lamp, Joaquim Tenreiro chairs—meet contemporary edge—a Martin Eisler lounge chair in a Timorous Beasties textile, a Vincenzo de Cotiis light sculpture—keyed up with quintessential custom Chroma works.

Suspenseful hand-blown glass pendants halo high-gloss lacquer cabinets—provocations to Bardiglio marble surrounds—spiked with Sawkill stools.

A resin-covered Max Lamb side table edges a structured vintage Jorge Zalszupin sofa set with Fortuny textile pillows. A carved walnut cocktail table gleams under a Vincenzo de Cotiis light sculpture, as a Marcel Wanders chaise longue cheekily peeks from the corner.

Expressive interiors juxtapose the flinty exterior in industrial SoMa.

A customized Jeff Zimmerman light fixture lusters, as Joaquim Tenreiro chairs lace a Charlotte Perriand table.

Enveloped in Bardiglio marble, a carved stone tub and Max Lamb copper stool bathe beneath the edgy contours of a Dimore Studio light fixture.

Vintage Stilnovo sconces bend striated beams above custom Chroma burl wood nightstands. A Martin Eisler x Timorous Beasties lounge chair sits coolly opulent against a carved stone Chroma side table.
