After achieving success on the West Coast as one half of the furniture design duo Meier/Ferrer, Charlie Ferrer has branched out on his own and opened a meticulously curated Manhattan showroom that also doubles as his one-bedroom apartment. The 32-year-old has pooled pieces by a number of behind-the-scenes talents, like the sought-after industrial designer Billy Cotton and the lighting expert Kacper Dolatowski, both of whose work had only been available to decorators seeking custom commissions. The handmade designs Ferrer displays, in a range of materials from brass to oak to plaster, feel classic yet current. “I don’t like to call it a showroom, which feels static,” Ferrer says. “It’s really more of a studio, an active place where artists refine, resolve and share their ideas.”
