Inspired by her childhood in Nigeria and an enduring love for Morocco, Andrea Schumacher, founder of Andrea Schumacher Interiors, imagined a modern speakeasy for her room at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House in New York. The design started with wallcovering, which is from Schumacher’s own collection, based on original artwork by her grandmother, Elizabeth “Liesl” Monath, who studied under Dalí and Léger in Paris in the 1930s.
Tile and stone ground the space in rich texture, and drapery frames the space beautifully, complemented by striking upholstery. Rugs provide warmth underfoot while a side table brings sculptural grace. The centerpiece of the bar area—the whimsical rhinoceros-shaped dry bar—gives the room its Pink Rhino Club name. Lighting fixtures and lamps infuse the space with a luminous ambiance.
