How to get the look of an opulent Nomad penthouse staged by ddc

The condo's developer bought air rights to surrounding buildings to ensure unobstructed views for tenants.

When perusing New York City real estate listings, you'll see a lot of beautiful and high-priced apartments, decorated (naturally) with beautiful and high-priced furnishings. While you may not be able to afford that multi-million dollar condo, or everything in it, it is possible to steal a bit of that high style with the purchase of one chic, on-trend piece.
That's where our feature, "Shop This Space" comes in. In it, we highlight a pleasingly-appointed room in an apartment that would bust most New Yorkers' budget, find out how much the individual items are, and where you can get them. We’ve looked at a Williamsburg waterfront rental, a condo in Hudson Yards, a penthouse on the Upper East Side, and a Lower East Side one bedroom.
Now, we're headed to 277 Fifth Ave. in Nomad, a luxury 130-unit condo building designed by internationally renowned architect Rafael Viñoly, with prices starting at $2 million.
The model unit, staged by ddc, is intended to feel sexy, sophisticated, warm and very open. "The dark, sumptuous tones and textures create a refined and opulent feel, while maintaining a sense of welcoming comfort, and warmth, a balance that is a hallmark of ddc," says Babak Hakakian, partner at ddc.
Love what you see? The ddc New York flagship is at 134 Madison Ave., and if you're looking for a price break of some kind (relatively speaking) the ddc outlet is located at 16 East 40th St.
