Opening Night at New York’s Design Center

The hugely successful online luxury marketplace for antiques and vintage designs, 1stDibs celebrates their 10th Anniversary by opening its first brick and mortar operation at the New York Design Center.
“1stdibs@NYDC is poised to completely change the dynamic of this once design-trade only building into a progressive, multi-faceted center that promotes and encourages working designers and makes shopping the building for consumers and designers a rewarding and positive experience”.

 






The celebration took place on the 16th of February, at the newly curated space on the 10th floor of New York’s Design Center. Of note was a curated exhibition from Malmaison’s Roger Prigent, my former boss, and most beloved mentor (read more about Roger here 1stDibs).  The Malmaison show show took place in the 1,100 sq. ft modern white cube gallery space designed for holding future exhibitions, as well as hosting lectures, books signings and special events. The space occupying the entire 10th Floor is now home to 53 dealers from all over the US as well as several international dealers from Paris, London, and Canada.
