Drexler, a paragon of contemporary American style, called on the celebrated French architect Thierry Despont to bring his unique aesthetic to the home’s already-stunning interiors. Designed to maximize comfort and function, Despont used a mix of mid-century furniture, including Eero Saarinen’s Grasshopper and Womb chairs, sculptural Scandinavian pieces, and bold chandeliers and pendants, to create spaces that are commanding, elegant, and exceedingly livable.

While the building itself features Art Deco details throughout, opulent antiques, classical art, and rich textiles transport this home’s grand interiors to an even earlier period. Adorned with Louis XV furniture, Regency lighting, gilded Rococo mirrors and tables, and elegant Neoclassical seating, the residence is utterly captivating.
