Jean Nouvel lobby re-designer claims she hasn’t been paid

Architect Jennifer Post, who has done interiors for the likes of Simon Cowell and Jennifer Lopez, was brought on at the posh Chelsea condominium after residents complained that the original sparse, black design was too dreary and brokers at the building blamed it for sluggish sales. (Much to Nouvel’s dismay, who told the Times in October that the developers “want to complete the building as inexpensively as possible and they want to take the money.”) Post jazzed up the place with large onyx sculptures and new carpeting, but told Page Six today that Cape still owes her $10,000 for her work. Cape countered that they’re only withholding the final payment until the “completion of her work.” [Post]
