In 1985, at the heart of Manhattan’s skyline, Andrée Putman designed the interior of an apartment in the prestigious United Nations Plaza tower. The address embodied the cosmopolitan New York of the 1980s: an iconic location where international modernity met urban elegance. Within this setting, Putman deployed her mastery of proportion and clarity. The open, light-filled volumes were arranged in fluid sequences, allowing the interior to engage in dialogue with the spectacular city views. The choice of materials — light wood, stone, and white surfaces — reinforced this refined sobriety, tempering the power of New York’s vertical landscape with a calm atmosphere. Through this project, the interior designer succeeded in uniting two worlds: Manhattan’s monumental energy and the timeless purity of her style. The apartment thus became a prestigious retreat, where luxury is expressed through the precision of lines, the subtlety of details, and the poetry of light.
