Curated Architecture, Furniture, Lighting & Material Showrooms
DESIGN THAT SELLS.
SPACES THAT INSPIRE.
New York is home to a remarkable concentration
New York is home to a remarkable concentration of international design brands, particularly around the Madison Avenue / NoMad design district, where several of the world’s most respected furniture, architectural systems, lighting, and textile showrooms are located within a few blocks of each other.
This guide presents a curated selection of destinations that represent the highest level of contemporary interior architecture and design craftsmanship.
From Italian design houses and architectural door systems to lighting laboratories and collectible design galleries, the following itinerary offers a glimpse into the design culture that shapes many of today’s most refined residential interiors.
Most of the primary showrooms can be visited during a pleasant walk along Madison Avenue, while a few additional destinations are located a short taxi ride away.
We hope this guide offers both inspiration and discovery while exploring New York’s vibrant design landscape.
