World-class design experiences.
New York & London
Knoll unveils its first international retail store in London and moves its New York retail store to an elegant space in Gramercy. These new locations reflect the brand's core design principles and demonstrate a bold new design direction for Knoll environments—a continuation of its recently refreshed showrooms in Chicago and Dallas. Brought to life with locally inspired architectural elements, colors, materials, and finishes, the London and New York presentations feature a retail space planned as a residence and a workplace floor planned as an office. Within these inspiring spaces, Knoll shows how both renowned historic and newly launched designs enhance modern residential and contract settings.
Herman Miller's new London and refreshed New York retail stores and showrooms invite all consumers of design to experience the brand's unique point of view on a modern way of living. Herman Miller retail spaces are programmed as a holistic environment with offerings for living, work, and play, while contract showrooms exemplify the breadth of the brand's commercial portfolio and its ability to address a wide range of architectural and occupational needs. Curated design elements and exhibitions in each location reflect Herman Miller's newly refreshed brand identity, rich heritage, and pioneering approach to modern design.
New York
Geiger and DatesWeiser will have a key presence in New York, featuring top-tier executive private office and conference designs. Showcasing the brands' abilities to customize nearly anything, the space will feature solutions specifically designed for the location, such as a DatesWeiser reception desk that also serves as a display wall and a custom-size stone-top Highline 50 Meeting Table. Geiger's best-selling, highly configurable Geiger One private office casegoods line will also be displayed, including recently launched enhancements. Across the floorplate, clients will be able to discover Geiger and DatesWeiser's recently updated veneer palette.
Muuto has a unique showroom expression in New York, showcasing its commitment to delivering new perspectives on Scandinavian design. Here, the brand's philosophy of combining lasting aesthetics, functionality, and craftsmanship with innovative materials and bold creativity comes to life. Muuto continues to prioritize the importance of creating intentional atmospheres through a thoughtful selection of furniture, lighting, and accessories. These concepts materialize into unique showroom "scenes" tailored to creating the perfect ambiance—whether it's for dining, socializing, focused work, or relaxation.
