PROJECT BRIEF

Studio 21L, Anderson Cooper’s new home at Hudson Yards, is characterized by a sleek combination of rectilinear and circular elements. A corner LED vista expanse is accentuated by cylindrical columns, and the rectangular anchor platform culminates in an arc with inset LED floor tile. These defining circles are mirrored in the otherwise rectilinear canopy above.

Cooper’s desk, supported by clear acrylic, appears to cantilever over the LED floor and comprises two complementary “halves” — one serves the anchor and a few guests, and the second extends the desk to host a full discussion panel.
