An image of the cover of 2012 of Hyland Edition 16 featuring interior design by Carol Egan Interiors.

New York designer Carol Egan is resolutely minimalist in her approach to rooms yet in her discerning selection of interesting furniture from various contemporary desginers, she is herself eclectic, albeit in an exceptionally pure and meditative vein. The living room, design by Carol Egan Interiors, is defined by a huge rug patterned boldly in large and small hexagons, in pale blue, indigo and white. The sofas, stark white, swoop in their curves, reminiscent of the glamorous forms of the 1950s.

Carol Egan began with the beautiful leitmotif of blue and white, so beloved by collectors of ceramics, and by decorators as diverse as J.M. Whistler and Mario Buatta. Here we have, not blue and white in china pattern, but in constant, harmonized juxtaposition, as in the simple forms of Berndt Friberg vases in indigo, or cerulean, sitting upon a curious long white consol design by Carol Egan for the dining room.

The massive "Baer" table, designed by Khari Guzman, its surface inlaid subtly with a pattern Islamic in its intricacy, surrounded by twelve chairs lacquered in white, is fit not only for dining, but for a charette, a convocation of teeming architectural brains needing a resful backdrop. White paper and pen, more than plates.

In the kitchen, Carol Egan has created another tranquil zone, one distinguished by the brilliant "PK15" brentwood chairs designed by Poul Kjoerholm, a contemporary incarnation of the wonderful chairs designed in the early twentieth century by Josef Hoffmann for Thonet. Four of them, in pale natural wood with caned seats, surrounded a small round white marble tabletop planted upon an intersting metal base, painted, of course, cerulean. The floor, too, is of pale wood, in contrast to the glossy mahogany finish of the cabinets.

A stylish bar, designed by Carol Egan, of dark zebra wood; shelves above it display more Scandinavian ceramics. The ensemble is set off by spiky, elegant stools reminiscnet of the 1960s.

The powder room is made of white Corian framework enclosing the sink and shelves with "Modernist" mirror from John Salibello Antiques and train case by Louis Vuitton.

The bedroom designed by Carol Egan Interiors is a Whistlerian composition of pale grays and whites, with hints of mauve - on the upholstery of the chaise longue, the edging of the pillowcases, in a feathery silk throw. Against the silvery walls are small pieces of sleek, dark veneered furntiure.
