An amazing exhibit at the MoMA ended recently, Ron Arad – No Discipline.

www.moma.org

Many one off and some production pieces were on display, all laid out on a large twisting grid designed by the man himself.

Images don’t do justice to the beauty of his pieces. The metal work when seen at the scale it is done is breathtaking and each object begs to be touched (but they were watching me). Each piece was ingenious and expertly crafted, all showcased the brilliant rule breaking designs of Ron Arad.

The B&B Italia and Moooi showroom in Soho was a great two level space. It was exactly the kind of styling that I love to see from them. Very subtle with hints of color, they show modern contemporary lines in a very inviting and sophisticated way.

We show a lot of B&B Italia and Maxalto in our showroom but it is always great to see the other combinations that you can do with the product.

My personal favorites were the outdoor REEL coffee and side table wrapped in thick polyurethane rope, and as with the Milan showroom the large Purple Harry Ottoman.

The updates were a little light last week due to a lot of changes going on in our showrooms (which means new products so come on in for a visit).

As promised I will continue to upload my photo’s from New York so everyone can enjoy the different ways that all the lines we represent are shown in their stores.

The Poltrona Frau showroom is located on Wooster St. near a lot of other brands (most within the Charme Group). A beautiful two level space showcasing the latest products and their contract products as well. The showroom was mainly done in subtle creams and browns with lots of accenting pieces.

The representations of color in their showroom, really shows how classic furniture models can be updated to work with any space.

If you would like to see more of their products visit us in store. Remember almost all of our products are available in different sizes, compositions, and materials.

*Stay tuned for more images from New York and next week a special posting on RON ARAD and MOROSO.
