Working with interior designer Dobie Aranda, the owner started renovating the two-bedroom condo soon after she bought it--a task that took two months to finish. The result is a tasteful, contemporary homage to the classics--a neutral black and white palette enveloping a luxurious space, filled with refinished Louis XVI chairs, lush damask fabric, crystal and mirrored surfaces, and rich dark chandeliers. Hints of Oriental art come into play with chests of drawers, a Guan Yin statue, and modern sculptural pieces.
