2025 was a wonderful year for the gallery. From a fresh new brand identity, to world travel, to collectible design fair debuts, we're still basking in the glow of all our exploits, big and small. Read on for the highlights, and stay in touch as we make more memorable moments in 2026.
A Brand-New Brand Identity
As we start off 2026 with a refreshed identity for the gallery, our commitment to sharp curation that spans eras and aesthetics is stronger than ever. Our new name reflects our ever-growing roster of represented living artists, all of whom are actively redefining today's collectible design landscape — while still honoring the traditions that have shaped both our gallery programming and design history at large.
TWO Art Fair Debuts
Our year was book-ended by two long-awaited art fair debuts at both The Winter Show in January and Salon Art + Design in November. Each long-held, storied events in their own right, both fairs are held close to home in the historic Park Avenue Armory on Manhattan's Upper East Side. For both presentations, we collaborated with FrenchCALIFORNIA to bring our visions to life, and we were thrilled to both welcome old friends and forge new connections across the collectible design scene.
At the Winter Show, we curated The Collectors Lounge, a special, site-specific installation for the Park Avenue Armory's historic Library room, designed by Stanford White and featuring stained-glass windows, fixtures, and other accents by Louis Comfort Tiffany. We aimed to build a space that was both stunning and functional, offering the fair's VIPs a resplendent respite from the show's main floor. Our installation featured works from Alina Alamorean, Auberlet et Laurent, Aguirre Design, Barbara Billoud, Garrido Gallery, Peter Lane, Stan Loskot, Atelier Tison, and Dora Stanczel.
At Salon Art + Design, we debuted on the Drill Hall floor with Lineage and Future Craft, an installation exploring how artists and makers across generations reinterpret historic design disciplines to create works that feel both timeless and-of-the-now. Our booth featured works from Alina Alamorean, Atelier Stefan Leo, Atelier Vallin Avignant, Barbara Billoud, Chartrain Collection, Patrick Laroche, Philippe Montels, Maxime Perrolle, Arnaldo Ugarte, Ruben Silva Design, and Dora Stanczel.
The Galerie Goes Global
As ever, our program draws on sources of inspiration from across the world. From meeting artists in their studio, to visiting the world's foremost collectible design fairs, to scouring open-air markets, we are constantly evolving our collection while remaining steadfast in our curatorial vision.
2025 took us to France twice for the renowned Maison & Objet and the much-anticipated Révélations International Biennale of Fine Craft & Creation. In April, we were off to Milan Design Week, a bustling event packed with installations, launches, and exhibitions anchored by the famed Salone del Mobile collectible design fair. Of course, we also took some time to revel in the everyday beauty of each destination, sourcing inspiration from the architecture, design, and spirit of every city we visited.
A highlight of our European adventures, though, was a trip outside the urban center, to the renowned Ateliers St. Jacques at Fondation De Coubertin,in Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, Île-de-France. The workshops boast a slate of over 150 artisans skilled in metalwork, joinery, and stone carving, all famed for their acumen in the decorative arts, their stewardship of French architectural heritage, and their cutting-edge contributions to contemporary design. The workshops have taken on numerous notable projects, including work on the Palace of Versailles and the restoration of Notre-Dame following the 2019 fire. We were honored to be invited on a private tour of the Ateliers, led by the director of the foundation José Fonseca.
While we reminisce on our 2025 exploits, we're more invigorated than ever as we face the year to come. Here's to a 2026 marked by discovery, inspiration, and beauty, wherever you are in the world!
