"Roderick N. Shade\nA Before After Glimpse of the Designer&amp;#39;s Contemporary New York City Loft\nRoderick N. Shade sits in his 1,100-square-foot Manhattan apartment, located in an industrial loft building that had formerly been a piano factory. &amp;quot;I reintroduced an urban element to it,&amp;quot; he says.\n&amp;quot;Clean yet tactile and calming,&amp;quot; is how he describes the living room. Pillow and shade fabrics, Decorators Walk. Kravet chair leather. Carpet, Patterson, Flynn Martin.\nThe living/diningarea.\nUntitled by James Godwin provides &amp;quot;a strong graphic punch&amp;quot; to the living room. Scalamandr\u00E9 sofa fabric. Maison Gerard silver vase.\nAluminum framing, with frosted-glass panels, surrounds the dining room, which can also serve as a guest room or a home office. &amp;quot;Everything can be moved,&amp;quot; Shade says.\nSteps led to a loft bedroom.\nAll spaces, including a slightly elevated bedroom, are off a hall that was &amp;quot;a key design element&amp;quot; for Shade. Chair fabric, Beacon Hill. &amp;quot;There was nothing to associate this place with being a loft,&amp;quot; Shade recalls. In redesigning the space, he chose industrial materials.\nContrasting textures and materials work with the frosted glass and floor lighting to add &amp;quot;an air of sexy mystery and glamour&amp;quot; to the bedroom. Carpet, The Home Depot."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
