‘I was influenced by the Fifth Avenue apartments of Edgar Bronfman and Charles Bronfman as they were on the same stretch of street where Logan’s apartment would be, particularly the simple muted color scheme from Charles’s apartment,’ he explained.
‘Edgar Senior’s apartment has the scale, views, and layout, but the color palette was pretty shocking to the eye.’
“The colors were very simple and nearly a monotone of wealth. I didn’t feel these were very tactile people, comfort-wise, and they wanted everything around them to be visually elegant.’
Decorator George DeTitta Jr. added that when decorating the apartment, they ‘didn’t want to draw overt attention to the family’s wealth.’
‘We didn’t want to draw overt attention to the family’s wealth with the decoration of the show, instead selecting a mix of pieces, both contemporary and antique, to tell the story of their elevated place in society more subtly,’ he told Set Decorators.
