Interior designer Tara Benet brings an aesthetic developed during her career as a painter to her interior work, creating modern spaces decked out in rich textures and dotted with tastefully colorful details. One of Benet’s most important tools is her vast knowledge of furniture manufacturers and brokers, allowing her to create unique combinations that redefine the spaces they fill. Take, for example, her placement of the angular, light-bending metallic Bowery Table from Desiron in a brick-lined dining room. With the simple choice of a table, Benet created a miniature history of industrial textures, bringing together steel and brick against the natural hardwood flooring.
