A high-rise apartment in New York, entertaining and working — furniture, soft furnishings and curtains by COOBUILD.

Project facts: Location: New York, USA · High-Rise Apartment Client: Elena Kowalski Scope: Soft furnishing & space planning Product lines: Furniture & Soft Furnishings · Curtains Supplier: COOBUILD · Foshan Xinhehui International Building Materials

Ms. Elena Kowalski commissioned us to create a multifunctional home that blends simplicity, practicality and comfort — a space that serves daily living, social gatherings and work alike. Guided by the philosophy of "composed yet alive," we delivered a complete soft-furnishing and space-planning scheme.

In the living room, a deep-brown L-shaped leather sofa is paired with an olive-green velvet sofa to set an embracing, generous tone. A minimal round coffee table handles surface needs with crisp, clean lines. The highlight of the space is a white knot-sculpture art stool — its fluid form breaks the calm and becomes the visual focal point. A slatted partition on one side subtly divides the zones, adding depth and a play of light and shadow. Behind it sits an efficient workspace: a black desk with a bright modern chair, injecting energy into the composed setting.

Every window is dressed with a dual-layer curtain system — sheer plus blackout — soft, diffused light by day and quiet privacy by night, with the Manhattan skyline framed as a living picture.

Working with COOBUILD. Foshan Xinhehui International Building Materials was a genuine pleasure. From my veryfirst visit to the showroom, the sales representative impressed me with her professionalism: rather than pushingproducts, she began by understanding howI live, entertain and work then advised me item by item- from thesoft-furnishing palette and furniture dimensions to the blackout rating and drape of each curtain. The pairing of theL-shaped leather sofa with the olive velvet sofa was the result of her careful consideration, and the white knot-sculpture stool was the perfect finishing touch. Every stageorder, production and ocean shipping to New York-came with clear progress updates. The goods arrived perfectly packed, installation went smoothly, and there wasnot a single colour deviation. That kind of professional, reliable, client-first service made me feel completely at easeas a buyer overseas. I look forward to working together again.
