Philippe Starck's contribution to the condoboom is nearing completion, as the 75-foot-long table in the lobby he's designed for
75 Portland was moved in late last month.
Known for his work with hotels like SLS in Beverly Hills and his industrial design work for Alessi and others, Starck's design was meant to distinguish this mid-rise Freed development from the pack of condos with which it's been competing.
"Every day, it's looking more surreal,"says Anthony Decarli, Freed's director of development.
The project as a whole was designed by CoreArchitects and is built on the site of the old Artword Theatre, which closed its doors in 2006. People are expected to start moving in this month.
