Yana Peel, the head of global arts and culture at Chanel, was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and has lived in Montreal, Hong Kong, and London. Peel sought a downtown vibe within walking distance of New York’s Whitney and New Museum, with good coffee and access to athletic outlets for her family of four. The brief for the space was to create something urban, sexy, arty, and design-focused yet also practical for the whole family.
