After a busy day at work at his upholstery showroom, Jose Gomez climbs the stairs to his home and studio on the second floor to clock in on his second job as a working artist at Art by Gomez. He loves the light-filled studio he’s carved out in his unique space and enjoys all the comforts of home and family in the 3,000-square living space he’s rehabbed over several years.

The white Italian leather sofa is a Gomez original, made in 2013. Gomez reupholstered the two black Argenta Lucite chairs, circa 1940, that flank a 1970s Warren Platner side table.
