Hôtel Americano, New York
Located on West 27th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues, the Hôtel Americano sits on what is one of New York’s most active gallery streets by day and vibrant club scenes by night.
The façade of the hotel directly reflects this dichotomy. The hotel floors are set back from the street behind a stainless steel mesh screen, with catwalks between. This screen will create a much needed buffer between the street side hotel rooms and the all night activity of the bars and clubs below, while providing the hotel, restaurant and club with an iconic, highly recognizable public face.
The program includes 56-room, a roof deck with a pool, bar, and garden terrace, which alleviate the surrounding concrete jungle with reflective surfaces, water, greenery, and views of the cityscape.

Handmade Furniture – Homegrown Wood – New Scandinavian Design.
The Hansen Family is a label with a strong handcrafted character, founded by designer Gesa Hansen who grew up in a scandinavian family of carpenters, designers and architects.

The first collection won two times the international Red Dot award and the International Good Design Award of the Chicago Athenaeum.
The Family tree grows thanks to diverse collaborations such as: Kitsune, Surface to Air, Steven Harrington …
More about us : The Atelier
Modern American office furniture and equipment manufacturer Herman Miller has announced a brand new portfolio, aptly titled the Herman Miller Collection. Set to launch first in the US before expanding to global markets later this year, the Collection takes cues from the timeless designs of George Nelson, Herman Miller’s Director of Design from 1945 to 1972, and allows consumers to customize a number of modern looks for a variety of environments. Including pieces from the likes of Geiger, Magis and Mattiazzi, who each share an aesthetic aligned with Miller’s values, the new line also utilizes a number of updated classics alongside completely brand new designs. To celebrate the launch the Herman Miller Pop-Up Shop will be opening in New York City on May 9 through July 1, providing a first-hand glimpse into the options available amongst the Collection.
