Sometimes design happens to unsuspecting people. Hughes N'Cho-Allépot is one such person. The grandson of an Attie tribal chief, he was born in Ivory Coast and grew up in Paris, where he studied to become a lawyer. N'Cho-Allépot abandoned that plan after a bout of "soul-searching," he says, and landed in Brooklyn with just $400. That was six years ago. Today he has his own furniture company for which he designs luxurious, streamlined hospitality pieces. Pony skin, for example, tops the 24-inch-square Réga stool. The Lagos chair offers a generous 35-inch width. The pulls on the Asian-inspired Bilal buffet are brushed stainless steel. The oversize arms of the Milos love seat (and three-seater, bench, and lounge chair) eliminate the need for end tables. And the Mica ottoman is a compact 27 square inches. Among the options: 11 woods and 10 stains; 50 choices of linen, velvet, silk velvet, and silk, as well as leather and pony skin; and a large selection of cleanable fabrics that exceed 100,000 Wyzenbeek rubs.
