This wasn't Chun's first collaboration with DeBois. "I've had the pleasure of working with [Chun] and Uprise Art on many client projects, and I was super excited when she reached out for her new place," DeBois told Business Insider.
"[Chun's] existing collection of accessories and art were on point, and her openness to vintage and one-of-a-kind items helped create her own kind of flawless living space," DeBois said.
"I envisioned a retro tropical style, like 1960s Hong Kong and Singapore, the two places where my family is from," Chun said.
The space itself is extremely rare and beautiful," DeBois said. "It's such an open floor plan with high ceilings, resembling that of a gallery, with the exposed brick and bright white walls.
"The open loft floor plan is challenging without defined rooms, so [DeBois] helped me find ways to make areas feel different and stylistically separate from each other," Chun said.
"It was important to designate living areas that preserved the welcoming feel [Chun] and [her husband] Geoff really wanted," DeBois said.
The brass and off-white chair is one of DeBois favorite pieces in the apartment. "[It's] totally original and unlike any color combination I'd ever seen — perfect for this cozy and bright living area," she said.
One of the major challenges DeBois faced was the fact that there wasn't a single closet in the entire apartment.
"In order to overcome this, we constructed faux built-ins by using wardrobe systems to create full walls of closets — perfect for hanging, shelves, and drawers," she said.
Chun gained inspiration for her dining room chairs from her wedding venue in Hudson, New York. "[My husband and I got married at] an old railroad factory that had 100 mismatched vintage chairs," she said. "I loved the way they looked, so for our dining room I found all different vintage chairs from Furnish Green, Craigslist, and other vintage stores."
Chun has a playful approach when it comes to curating a space. "People often have this notion that the place you install art is permanent. I'm a big advocate of moving art around a space often," she said.
Overall, Chun describes the entire vibe of the apartment as "unique, comfortable, and collected over time."
