The Parlor Floor
The mix of furniture in the living room includes a Gaetano Pesce chair by the window. The wallpaper on the left wall is from Timorous Beasties. “We used it as the backdrop in a film about Sigmund Freud–Vienna 1900,” Andrew Rossi says.
TWENTY YEARS AGO, Andrew Rossi attended a rough-cut screening of the documentary Startup.com at the brownstone owned by the filmmakers D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus on the Upper West Side. “I just thought that was such a wonderful way to work,” Rossi recalls. “To live in a brownstone and to be able to work there, too—such an intimate and creatively fertile environment.”
The TV Area
On the wall is a movie poster for The Conformist, by Bernardo Bertolucci, and a poster for the Polish version of The French Connection, by William Friedkin. On the flat-screen: Snapshot,by Andy Warhol. The canvas carpet is from Black Point Mercantile, custom painted by Sharktooth in Williamsburg.
