is at the heart of any public event organized in the apartment. In
the bedroom, the bed from Kenn's Inheritance collection—with a
Hastëns mattress and Morrow Soft Goods linen sheets—sits on
a fl oorcovering by Marc Phillips Rugs. On each side of it, sliding
doors lead to the gym, evoking the California lifestyle. The gym
features a vintage, military-issue punching bag and workout
equipment created and made in Japan by Itani Athletic, while the
bathroom's dark gray walls contrast with brass furniture. A wooden
staircase, meanwhile, offers access to the meditation room for
anyone who wants to experience the meaning of peacefulness.
Far from a showroom without personality, The Loft is cozy, with
the feeling of home, while inviting guests to explore every design
piece and accessory in situ. Private tours and events such as
dinners, workshops and talks are organized for people to meet.
The cherry on the cake: Overnight stays are available on reserva-
tion, one that includes access to the community swimming pool
and hot tub. For gourmands, a fi ve-course meal for two—crafted
by award-winning chef Neal Fraser from Los Angeles restau-
rant Redbird and served on plateware by local artist Delphine
Lippens—can be delivered to The Loft for a unique dining expe-
rience. Mixing style and well-being, energy and calm, this space
doesn't fall into any particular category. It is, rather, in a class all
by itself. stephenkenn.com
