High above Midtown, Humbert & Poyet make their New York debut inside Jean Nouvel’s landmark tower, presenting an apartment shaped around art, craft and the city skyline

Perched on the 69th floor of 53 West 53, the landmark tower designed by Pritzker Prize-winning French architect Jean Nouvel, a model residence featuring interiors from Thierry Despont was recently unveiled. Conceived by Humbert & Poyet, the model apartment introduces a clear position on living at height, treating its art collection as part of the architecture and giving the interior a presence that can stand up to the skyline outside.

[...] Art shapes the apartment from the start. Works by Jasper Johns, Raven Halfmoon and Magdalena Shummer-Fangor appear throughout the residence, developed in collaboration with Creative Art Partners. Their placement influences scale and pacing across the rooms, allowing future buyers to understand how a collection might live within the space.
