**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**

Their placement influences scale and pacing across the rooms, allowing future buyers to understand how a collection might live within the space.
