ARTEMEST GALLERIA
will Host IFDA NY
on their outdoor patio and
we can also immerse ourselves in their new show:
the architecture and interior design studio founded by Britt Moran and Emiliano Salci, in a full takeover of
Artemest Galleria New York.
The designer duo presents WEST CHELSEA, a museum-like exhibition featuring an exclusive capsule collection of one-of-a-kind furniture pieces.
The mood of the exhibition was inspired by the America of the 1960s and 1970s, both in terms of colors and furniture finishes.
The reference of the project are the large American working environments of that period, those of Billy Wilder’s 1960 film “The Apartment” or Colin Higgins’ 1980 film “Nine to Five”.
Bring your Business cards to sign in and for the best networking in town!
The weather is going to be great!
Special Thanks to our IFDA NY member Bissera Antikarov for hosting us!
