AD: CALLE HENZEL DESIGNS FEATURED IN THE HOME OF ROBERT DOWNEY JR.
Designs by Calle Henzel is included in AD100 designer Joe Nahem's project for Robert Downey Jr. "We wanted something we haven't seen a million times," the Iron Man star says, describing the property itself as well as the decorative ministrations of AD100 designer Joe Nahem and the team at New York City-based Fox Nahem. We didn't set out to do something conspicuously wackly. We just enjoy a bit of whimsy and fun. And we definitely don't like boring," he adds.
