Back to the 2014 AD100 List

Long a proponent of crisp white rooms of exceptional purity, Jennifer Post has loosened up a bit in recent years. Her sparely furnished modernist interiors—including homes for Jennifer Lopez and Simon Cowell—are still marked by spectacular expanses of white, but dashes of brilliant color and dark contrasts increasingly infiltrate the pristine palette that has been the New York City designer’s calling card for more than two decades. “I’m done doing that,” she says, adding that trips to Jaipur, India, have opened her eyes, chromatically speaking. “The visions I get from such places help so much with my work.” For one project—a sparkling Manhattan pied-à-terre outfitted with her hallmark sleek, low-slung Italian furniture—Post hung a striking emerald-green light fixture in the living room, painted one wall of the dining room in a refreshing pistachio, and stretched a golden-green runner through the entrance hall. jenniferpostdesignom
