Welcome to The Nomadic Deco Atelier, a rare 900-square-foot corner residence in the heart of Midtown East, curated by a visual artist and designed as an immersive world of texture, warmth, and cinematic beauty. Located on 56th and 2nd in a full-service doorman building, this home delivers both luxury and soul — a highly unusual combination in Manhattan.
