In tandem with fashion week, the Swiss icon USM offers a new interpretation of its modular shelves, in collaboration with a creator of luxury clothes in an ode to his native Africa. And Superhouse in Tribeca honors the legend of the city center design and ancestors of the American “radical modernism” movement, Dan Friedman, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of his death-related death.

A large part – the zigzag patterns, the neon and the bulging forms – feels simultaneously retro and contemporary.
