Steal This Look: An Artful Bedroom at the Hotel Tivoli - Remodelista
When art stars Brice and Helen Marden took over the Hotel Tivoli, the Wall Street Journal likened the project to Martin Scorsese deciding to run a diner. The Mardens remodeled the 10-room hotel in collaboration with designer Laura Flam and her colleagues at Reunion Goods & Services of NYC. The Roman shades (which have concealed blackout shades that can be pulled down at night), she reports, were made by Timshell Rivers Studio of Brooklyn: “They also provided the fabric (they represent very nice and moderately priced mills).” Room & Board’s Parsons Bed comes in five sizes and 14 colors (Blossom, shown here); $999 for queen size. Serena & Lily’s white Pickstitch Matelassé Quilt is $258 for the full/queen size. The Norwegian lamb’s wool Berg Throw, designed by Torbjí¸rn Anderssen and Espen Voll and made in Norway by Rí¸ros Tweed, is 79 by 53 inches; $375 from DWR The hotel is filled with art and interesting objects made or collected by the Mardens, such as Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek’s Bedside Table in Scrapwood. A 1940s design classic reissued by Gubi, the Grasshopper Lamp by Greta Grossman, comes in six colors; $875 at DWR. There are a lot of butterfly chair options out there: See Object Lessons. They are waterproof and come in 15 colors; the Basque Red cover (shown here) is €126 ($135.24), marked down from €251 ($269.40). From Etsy seller My Blue Meadow, this machine-knit Pale Dusty Pink Throw Blanket of 100 percent natural linen yarn is $45.90. Helen Marden gathered the Tivoli’s Moroccan rugs during her travels and from Imports from Marrakech in New York’s Chelsea Food Market. Laura notes that Tuareg rugs, such as the one pictured next to the bed, “tend to be very pricey when they’re in large sizes.” This mid-20th-century Moroccan Tuareg Mat of straw and leather, 10 by 7 feet, is $3,000 on 1st Dibs from Kelly Behun Studio. The hotel’s old wood floors were given a purple cast with Benjamin Moore Bistro Blue paint. A Vintage Moroccan Flatweave Kilim, 5 feet 4 inches by 13 feet 3 inches, is $5,500 from J&D Oriental Rugs via 1st Dibs.
