Daniel Shapiro: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The first impression upon entering Daniel Shapiro's apartment is of a well-balanced interplay between periods and materials. “I have always wanted to live in a loft space”, Shapiro explains, “and I wanted an authentic loft, with an industrial feel that didn't seem manufactured or new.” Vintage Toledo Barstools from Restoration Hardware contrast the minimal edge of the stainless steel island. Placed immediately beyond the entrance, the stool’s style offers a hint of the industrial nature of the space. Photo: Adrienne M DeRosa © 2012 Houzz Design: KEA Design
