A Zhang Huan portrait of Diane von Furstenberg hangs in the living room of her Manhattan penthouse. The fashion designer created the leopard-spot carpeting for the Rug Company. The armchair is by Michael Graves.
At Christopher Spitzmiller's country place in upstate New York, the living room's Mark Sciarillo cocktail table and hooked zebra rug were once owned by decorator Albert Hadley, the homeowner's longtime friend.
In the guest room of Virginie Deniot's French farmhouse, the coverlets are made of a linen blend by Romo, the zebra-stripe pillows are of a Jim Thompson silk, and the walls are sheathed in a cotton Provençal check by Pierre Frey.
In the living room of retired advertising executive Peter Rogers's New Orleans residence, an Olga Antonova still life hangs above the mantel; the William Haines cocktail table once belonged to actress Claudette Colbert. The sofa is clad in a Rubelli linen; the ottoman, from Duane, is upholstered in an Edelman leather; and the mirrored tables and zebra rug are from Vol. 1 Antiques.
In the office of interior designer Ken Fulk's San Francisco home, a daybed occupies the alcove that Warren Callister originally designed it for -- only now the piece is enlivened by leopard-print upholstery and a cashmere throw, both by Ralph Lauren Home.
In the living room of a Boston residence renovated by Dell Mitchell Architects and decorated by Wells & Fox, a custom-made club chair and sofa, both upholstered in a Claremont fabric and the latter accented with Fortuny-fabric pillows, are joined by Écart International tub chairs from Ralph Pucci International and a 19th-century fauteuil clad in a Clarence House zebra stripe.
In the living room of art director Charles Churchward's Santa Fe, New Mexico, residence, a sofa accented with a pair of Marcel Wanders pillows, all by B&B Italia, is joined by a vintage Florence Knoll lounge chair in zebra-stripe upholstery, a Poul Kjærholm daybed by Fritz Hansen, and two Charles Pollock armchairs for Knoll.
In the Manhattan apartment of Tiffany & Co. accessories designers Richard Lambertson and John Truex, vintage hides--including the leopard fur cushioning a 1920s stool once owned by fashion designer Geoffrey Beene--accent the den; the chest is Biedermeier.
Albert Hadley's Manhattan living room in the 1980s, with tea-paper-clad walls, sculptural chairs, and one of the hooked zebra rugs he favored.
In the living room of entrepreneur J. Christopher Burch's Southampton, New York, house, a Ford work is mounted in the oak-paneled library. The sofa is upholstered in a Christopher Hyland fabric; a Raoul Textiles leopard print was used for the curtains and the Billy Baldwin slipper chair; and Maya designed the carpet.
