Editor’s Picks:
Two top showrooms that always impress
Though filled with elegant high-end Italian furniture and stunning displays of Boffi’s kitchen and bathroom systems, this newly-expanded showroom is not without its fun surprises. Take the wooden duck and Jaime Hayon’s funky servingware in the shot above for instance. Both make the case that stylish need not be stiff.
The go-to for licensed furnishings from Knoll, Cassina and Herman Miller, DWR deals in modern classics (including Eames chairs aplenty). The retailer’s new King East digs are full of artful displays that make even familiar designs look fresh. A light cloud of glowing pendants hangs above the central staircase, while a fabric swatch wall showcases a rainbow of upholstery options from Maharam and Knoll.
