1. Chesterfield Sofa and Chairs
A Craigslist find. Christiansen had them reupholstered in Chinatown in black latex.

2. Airplanes Models
Christiansen collects the metal versions made in the seventies. One he found at an estate sale in rural Canada, others he buys from a garrulous elderly collector on trips to Paris. “It’s become a ritual,” he says.

3. White Chairs
The upholstery fabric is by Josef Frank, from Liberty of London (one of Chandelier’s clients); the chairs are from Tepper Galleries.
