Madame's Study - Mansions in May, 2003 at the Cross Estate, Bernardsville, N. J.

A woman's study that is both feminine and practical at the same time. A 1956 Saarinen dining table has been re-envisioned with a base covered in 12,000 Swarovski crystals and lime green pig suede for the top. Her desk chair wears a St. Laurent fabric as a bolero, and a handbag is displayed as sculpture. In this room our lady of the house can retire to read, dream, and watch old movies, or she can be part of the world with her wireless keyboard and a 42 inch computer monitor (by connecting her CPU to the plasma screen) she can surf the web, send e-mail, or handle the family business online.
