BERLUTI
Berluti welcomes the NYCxDESIGN community to come discover its furniture offer. An essential aspect of the Berluti lifestyle, furniture has been designed by the Maison since the 1960’s, when Talbinio Berluti first created the Club Chair, meant for optimal comfort and perfect foot placement during the shoe fitting process. The Venezia leather armchair quickly became a fixture in Berluti stores, beloved by clients who eventually started placing special orders for it. From 2015, the furniture and lifestyle offering began to gradually grow and develop, with the addition of tables, ottomans, sofas and, ultimately, objects and games including a table football and a pool table.
EMMA SCULLY GALLERY
Emma Scully Gallery proudly presents ‘A Year Without a Kiln,’ a non-ceramic translation of artist and designer Simone Bodmer-Turner’s multi-contextual practice. Serving as a topography of self, this inherently personal showcase invites viewers into Bodmer-Turner’s inner landscape during a time of immense transition and creative incubation. Imbued with a sense of kinetic curiosity, each object presented is a marker in a year when the artist moved her life and practice from an apartment and studio in Brooklyn, New York to a New England farmhouse and orchard in Massachusetts. During this time, Bodmer-Turner didn’t have access to her kiln, the primary tool behind her clay creations. With this absence, she was presented with the metamorphic opportunity to introduce – or in some cases, revisit – different materials into her designs. Collaborating with local artisans and masters of their craft, Simone has been able to experiment with bronze, wood, lacquer and silk, developing a body of non-ceramic work.
