Clip Summary
Bob meets with Darren Brown and Jonathan Adler to discuss the interior design of the penthouse apartment. Adler identifies the casual, open plan, and the richness of the exposed brick and wood, as the guides to his approach. He plans to put an emphasis on fabrics and furniture surfaces, and to use dark colors (which the abundance of natural light makes possible). Envisioning the space as a bachelor's pad, Adler suggests turning the second bedroom into an office. In this space, Adler would change the tone and make strong use of color and graphic patterns (in the vein of British designer David Hicks). The office, according to Adler, would have a crisp, choreographed feeling. In the bedroom, since there is so little space, Adler sees the deep mahogany windowsill serving as a storage shelf.
