The Living Room: “I did a quick one-month renovation that was basically repainting the walls and adding back some trim,” Eicke says of the work he did this past February. In the living room, “we replaced the fire surround. It used to be oak with gesso — it’s now cast iron. The whole room used to be white.” Eicke’s own designs for the sofa and armchair introduce a new aesthetic. “We wanted to create an absolute flip of an experience.
Last fall, Maximilian and his girlfriend, Irina Krylova, moved back to the Main Street place full time. He’d always had his own passion for the business, and his penchant for modernism is reflected in his designs for Max ID NY, the company he launched in 2009. Since February, he has given the old digs of the family business a makeover as his home and office. “We used this time to reinvigorate the space,” he says. “Basically adding our twist of furniture to their collection mixed with mine.
In doing so, he was surprised to discover that maybe his aesthetic wasn’t as far removed from his parents’ as he thought. He and Krylova have done a thorough inventory of the place, sending some pieces to Philadelphia, where he is opening a new showroom. They also incorporated other heirlooms with his own designs. “The fun thing is that I thought since my parents aren’t here, I would make the space completely modern,” says Maximilan.
Dining Table: “I created a lot of vignettes because we were stuck inside and we wanted to create an indoor-outdoor feel,” Eicke says of the airy dining space with chairs of his own design and a brass table that has been in the family for years. The vase is part of the new collection he launched this year.

Has anybody who designed or lives in this house ever sat on a chair?
I'm not quite prepared for the '80s to be rediscovered in interior design. Can wallpaper borders be far behind?
Beetle-juicy.
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!
It looks too staged. Like the set of a Play.
Love the look. Not sure of the comfort level.
This is horrible.
