The Salon best exemplifies Bouy’s use of curved surfaces as a prominent design element. Bouy’s signature curves are found in the chairs, table, piano, and typical set of three descending arches, found at both ends of the room, enhancing the ceiling plane.

The composition of the library east wall is exemplary of Bouy’s mastery of proportions in its arrangement of fireplace, bookcases, mirror, and trim. Bouy’s painted trim is original and is typical of his means of minimizing the scale of the space and providing decorative interest. The fireplace is typical of his signature metal work surrounds. The chairs are a Bouy design, as is the fabric. This chair design is represented in the Cooper-Hewitt Musuem Collection. Photograph by Matt Wargo (2021), Cosmopolitan Club.
The library’s north and west walls are similar to the east wall in terms of their wonderful proportions and trim details. The card table and chairs are Bouy originals, resplendent in his signature Chinese red, which is found in the dining room furniture, as well. Photograph by Matt Wargo (2021), Cosmopolitan Club.
The third floor sitting room’s wall composition is beautifully proportioned. Bouy’s simple painted door and trim designs enhance the elevation and reflect the restraint of the moderne aesthetic. The metal surround of Bouy’s fireplace resembles the one in the library. The chairs are an original Bouy design. Photograph by Matt Wargo (2021), Cosmopolitan Club.
The bench elevation for the basement ladies lounge emphasizes Bouy’s effective use of curves. In this case, Bouy ingeniously incorporated a radiator into the composition. Photograph by Matt Wargo (2021), Cosmopolitan Club.
Bouy’s elegant design of furniture is quite apparent in this ensemble of ladies lounge furnishings. The metal table and mirror represent another iteration of his skillful use of metal. With their black curved wooden backs, the chairs echo the use of curves in yet another material. Photograph by Matt Wargo (2021), Cosmopolitan Club.
