White custom-designed the sofa — which pulls out to serve as Vargas's bed — to fit the mirror's curve. "Because the space is so small, a daybed would take up too muich room," White says. "I wanted him to be able to have friends over for a drink." Artist Clare Graham, another old friend of White's, fashioned the mirror out of 17,000 pop-tops strung together with wire; the whole surface ripples in the breeze like a metallic pelt. Knock-off swing-arm lamps anchor two columns — cribbed from an eighteenth-century engraving and Xeroxed to a gargantuan scale — to the wall. "These make the ceiling look taller," White says. He bought synthetic white tiger off the bolt and had it bordered in a strip of flame-colored carpet.
