Ornamental Compositions Inc. has been chosen to create rooms or important design elements in many designer showhouses, including Kips Bay, Southport, Nyack and Southampton. Our work has been widely admired in the design press and has been featured in prestigious publications such as Architectural Digest, Interior Design, The Washington Post, Art and Antiques, House and Garden and on the covers of industry publications such as Design Times and Window Fashions. The bed canopy we created for a bedroom in the Kips Bay Showhouse was hailed as a “tour de force” in Art and Antiques and “show stopping” in Interior Design. A replica of the canopy was used as a window display by Schumacher in New York City. Additionally, a Park Ave. project was featured in The Jewish Museum as one of the most important apartments in New York City.
Ornamental Composition’s projects may be found in commercial spaces and private residences, including the rotunda of a Fifth Ave. apartment, the Sutton Place townhouse of Elsie de Wolf, Park Avenue apartments, and homes in Kings Point, Manhasset, Tuxedo Park, Old Brookville, The Hampton's, and Greenwich, Connecticut. We also installed a decorative ceiling in the main dining room of the Marymount School on Fifth Ave.
