Bosch is committed to pure, purposeful European design that perfectly fits people’s lives. One of the current U.S. trends is small spaces. Popular in places like Manhattan, the movement is now catching on in more U.S. cities where small spaces are expanding to include guest suites, media rooms, secondary vacation homes and other ancillary spaces. Bosch is satisfying this ever-growing lifestyle trend with modern design, innovation and efficiency you’d expect. As the 24" Bosch kitchen is specifically designed for small spaces, this is undeniable proof that a smaller space doesn’t mean a smaller sense of style. Whether it’s city dwellers living in an urban condo or loft, empty nesters or retirees desiring to downsize, or vacationers enjoying time in a compact residence club, Bosch brings a premium experience to any kitchen. No matter the size.

Expansive white walls are the ideal back drop for art of all kinds. A Francisco Larrios painting adds a playful quality to the collection, which also includes Robert's favorite piece, a gilded gold frame with revolving digital images of Britney Spears. "We absolutely love the art culture here, and really enjoy supporting new artists we find that could make a statement", Novogratz explains. "We are definitely exposed to new things quickly, so we have learned to incorporate our love of old historical pieces, which you see in our vintage collection, which we mix with the amazing new pieces we find."
