New York Sep 12 (IANS) When actor Jake Gyllenhaal wanted to open shop in New York with his production company Nine Stories he tapped a childhood friend to design an unconventional office.
Interior designer Ariel Ashe who along with partner Reinaldo Leandro has designed spaces for Liev Schreiber Naomi Watts and Seth Meyers has a long history with the actor-producer as the two met as teenagers while vacationing on Martha s Vineyard reports people.com.
"He s actually very funny. He did the best impression of a velociraptor when we were kids " she tells Architectural Digest in the October issue.
"Jake s office feels very serious but there are a few humorous moments and lots of personal memorabilia to inspire him " she added.
