n a companion article in this issue, HYLAND visits
designer Robert Passal in his own rarefied precinct. Here,
we see the genius of his work for a client, the creation
of another small, joyful interior, that of an apartment
in the former Tiffany's building at Union Square. In the
space of a few rooms of modest dimension, Passal, with
unerring eye, has selected furniture and art that animate,
that charm. The special virtue of a small apartment is
that it must envelop a life or lives with a concentration
that amounts to poetry, so succinct yet various are its
contents.
