New York artist-designer, Max Kaplan, has converted a former art gallery in NoHo into a live-work space that seamlessly blends his showroom, private quarters, and experimental design studio. Kaplan's space embodies the rich history of live-work arrangements in Manhattan, offering a unique environment for creative expression and client interaction.
Manhattan has a great tradition of live-work arrangements, from the downtown artist lofts of the 1960s and 1970s to the shopkeeper’s apartment above a storefront. Part of this arrangement, of course, is a necessity due to competitive real estate, but it also impacts the artists’ creative output.
The new space has already informed Kaplan’s work. He’s been able to fine-tune the precise colour temperature of his lighting by living in such close proximity to so many of the lamps and sconces, which he didn’t do in his previous apartment. ‘I would see all the work all day at the studio and so at home I wanted to keep my mind clear,’ Kaplan says.plastered over after it was installed, and built a 12ft-long metal-framed dining table for when he hosts dinner parties.
