This apartment captures part of that evolution by combining the clean lines and smart functionality of mid-century style with today’s most distinctive trends like bold geometric patterns. The creatives at Fimera Design likely chose this aesthetic as a nod to the apartment’s 1950s construction, its renovation providing a chance to weave the building’s history into a stylish and contemporary interior....
