URBAN LOFT-STYLES

Foreword
Here, it's nearly impossible for a collection to fall short of striking. The exposed brick, hardwood floors, open ceiling beams, and oversized historic windows, bathed in natural sunlight, make this space a dream that once defined the '90s Architectural Digest aesthetic.
From the bold contours of the sculptural Brown Saltman Sofa to the airy minimalism of the Italian Zermatt Sling Bench, and the unexpected occurrence of old-world tradition found in the Hollywood Regency Silk sofa, the open layout allows each piece to assert its own presence in this loft space. Majestic fig trees serve as natural partitions, while vintage folding screens add structure and definition, creating an environment full of artistic potential.
As you explore the limitless possibilities of working within such a space, the question I leave you with is: What is your Loft-Style?

Italian Airport Lounge
In this loft, stark concrete walls and exposed beams are softened by the buttery leather of this sleek Italian Zermat Sling Bench. It’s architectural steel frame mirrors its industrial surroundings, while repeating geometric forms and warm wood accents add a keen mid-century atmosphere. This moment, reminiscent of a suave 1970s Italian airport lounge, takes us back to a time when flying was still glamorous.

Urban Escapes
Outdoor spaces hold immense value, especially in the heart of a big city, where a fire escape often doubles as an extension of your living room. Countless moments have been shared on these cleverly outfitted, plant-filled “balconies” in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. I’ve seen some impressive setups from back in the day. Things were different back in Y2K. While we appreciate the creativity behind this, No Era strongly advises against decorating fire escapes due to serious safety hazards. For now, let’s just imagine the possibilities.

Tradition in Transition
This Hollywood Regency gold-striped silk sofa introduces a shimmering counterpoint to its raw industrial surroundings. Framed by a vintage rattan folding screen, the sofa becomes an even more dramatic centerpiece. The screen's intricate weave anchors the space, drawing the eye and grounding the sofa within the open-concept layout.

Refined Futurism
Vintage doesn’t have to look “vintage.” At No Era, the mission isn’t to mimic the past but to integrate its relics into the future. Take this 1950s Brown Saltman Sofa—its sculptural form feels ahead of its time, a nod to space age futurism. Paired with a Lucite globe, a postmodern twist on a classic, this collection doesn’t just span decades; it bends time. How do you envision your future?
