'You can walk into a lot of beautiful spaces, but they’re not fun. That’s not the world I want to run in. Give me more fun' – inside the eclectic world of Robert Novogratz

Dining space in an open plan New York city apartment featuring the designer Robert Novogratz.

Robert Novogratz is, at this point, an American design institution. Along with his wife Cortney, he’s been creating spaces for over 30 years, filling them with art, charm, and plenty of personality. In fact, the homes they piece together are works of art in themselves, jewel boxes of unexpected colors, beloved finds, a mix of antique heirlooms and family keepsakes, with furniture and decor sourced from brands as varied as Paul Ferrante and Pooky.

A hallmark of the Novogratz way of life is to buy a run-down home in an up-and-coming area, do it up, and flip it – the couple tends to move every two to three years. They are currently living in a loft just off Union Square, New York City, 'newly finished, which took about a year,’ Robert tells me, ‘and won’t be our forever home.’
