When philanthropists Al and Kate Tylis purchased an apartment in a Robert A.M. Stern–designed building on Manhattan’s Park Avenue, they noticed that most of their neighbors had taken a traditional approach to their decor. But the Tylises wanted something different: a contemporary space warm and modern to complement Stern’s bold, classical gestures and soaring ceilings.
Their search for an interior designer with a fresh sensibility led them to Samuel Amoia, who began his career working for
ELLE DecorA-List designer Stephen Sills and who is known for, in addition to his design work, his eponymous line of furniture.
