MODX 70 Catamaran Wins Multihull of Year Award, Undergoes Sea Trials in France

Vitra, the Swiss furniture company, is unveiling its new Manhattan showroom in Chinatown, occupying a 6,000-square-foot loft with soaring ceilings and a large wall of windows overlooking the Manhattan Bridge. The space, formerly a dim sum restaurant, was designed to evoke a distinct New York vibe that is both discovered and obscure, with contributions from architect Serge Drouin and Vitra's in-house team to create a flexible, minimal environment featuring notable design elements like blue tiles from the Edgar J. Kaufmann Conference Center. This move ends Vitra’s decade-long period of relocating within New York City and reflects the company’s dedication to innovative and thoughtful design. The showroom’s design and location emphasize Vitra's connection to the city’s cultural and architectural fabric, blending historical and modern elements.
