Description
Christian Liaigre (French, 1943-2020) Mercer Kitchen (designed 1997) reception area brass and glass lantern, inspired by the form of a large square Japanese "Takumi" lantern, with glass paneled sides and a monumental gilded bronze frame. 35.5" H x 16.5" W x 16.5" D. Provenance: The Mercer Kitchen, Mercer Hotel, New York. Note: The Mercer Kitchen at the Mercer Hotel was designed by Christian Liaigre in 1997, with an industrial aesthetic softened by luxurious comfort. This Japanese-inspired standing bronze lantern from the reception area dates from the original Liaigre 1997 design and predates the 2023 renovation. Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Mercer Kitchen was a landmark restaurant for celebrities, food lovers, and New Yorkers.
