Currently the home and design editor at Departures, Dan Rubinstein lives in New York City. He penned the cover story for this issue, featuring Nicolas Roche’s kaleidoscopic Parisian home. “Roche’s apartment truly encapsulates the virtues of any design lover: rare and bizarre vintage finds, shots of quirk and color, and some good old-fashioned problem-solving. I remain utterly fascinated with his Bond-style, mega-groovy bed of unknown origin.” Favorite piece of furniture: His Vegetal chair from Vitra in black. “I’m a big fan of using outdoor furniture indoors when appropriate.”

Sunlight streams through formerly boarded-up windows in the living area that was once Madame Wong’s stage. “When we took off the drywall, we realized there were windows in there. So we had more made to match these four,” says Dan. The new windows open up the east side of the building to views of the courtyard below and the San Gabriel mountains in the distance. The apartment is furnished with an eclectic mix of furniture, including an Eero Saarinen womb chair.

While access to 101 Spring's upper floors requires advance reservations, the first floor exhibitions will be open to the public on Friday and Saturday afternoons. Future exhibitions will continue to combine art, books, and Judd Furniture. "Art and architecture—all the arts—do not have to exist in isolation, as they do now," said Judd in 1986. "This fault is very much a key to the present society. Architecture is nearly gone, but it, art, all the arts, in fact all parts of society, have to be rejoined, and joined more than they have ever been."

In the 1960s, artist Donald Judd—best known for the minimalist sculptures he referred to as "specific objects"—was one of the pioneers in transforming SoHo from overlooked industrial area to the center of the art world. Before his death in 1994, he planned for his home and studio, a five-story cast-iron building at 101 Spring Street, to be a permanent installation featuring more than 1,000 works of art, furniture pieces, and decorative and ceremonial objects. After a detailed restoration, 101 Spring opened to the public in 2013.
