In March, design events are multiplying with new galleries in office buildings, apartments and town houses. On Bowery, a new exhibition hall inspired by casinos and American West displays the lighting under a mirror ceiling with stars cut in steel. Two dealers of vintage furniture traveled a suite in a nomadic sales cooperative with works from the 19th century in the contemporary era. And in Soho, the chairs that have been carefully organized, suspended or even lit on the fire of Robert Wilson Productions are now visible closely.

Astraeus ClarkeLighting and furniture are always made in Brooklyn, but now it has a place in the Chinese district, during the studio’s first exhibition hall on Bowerry. The Chelsie and Jacob Starley co-founders designed and built the floor space on the ceiling, a return to their past lives to restore and return houses to Utah. The wooden hooded walls, the shiny lacquered cabinets and the coated metal of powder make a backdrop in a bad mood for the pendants and the lamps of the company. There are also a few rustic touches, such as window nuances based on the pattern of a shortpoint transmitted by the great-great-grandmother of Chelsie. All together, the showroom clearly reflects the two influences of the brand: the American West and the modernist Metropolitan East. A chandelier with three winding levels falls to the center of an integrated platform lounge, under a mirror ceiling with stars in steel cut by hand dispersed above. Astraeus Clarke’s latest lighting series, The Darning Collection, Also exposed, includes a silver cylinder chandelier, an application and a pendant with a sewn side like those on the embellished denim. The exhibition hall is open by meeting only.

Artist Erwan Bouloud Presents 15 new works at the “time of touch”, in Tribeca Twenty first gallery. It is the first solo show by the French designer in almost two decades. The influences for Bouloud furniture range from the solar system to medieval jewelry and even to microscopic images of cells, and these are quite visible in finished works. A decadent console With brass marquette and integrated precious stones is attached in a pattern of bark shapes. Her Rock -shaped steel coffee tableRoeco, is laser cut on top and carved with radiant lines; Sapphire jewels sunk in the center of each ripple. Bouloud, a “self-proclaimed firm promoter of 21st century craftsmanship”, creates these effects by mixing traditional techniques with new technologies, for example in 3D printing a set of cocoon-shaped bronze loops, a form which, according to the artist, would have been impossible otherwise. But it’s elegant from Bouloud, Heavy mechanical lamps This call to me the most: the high -end shades of venous milky albaster stone are held right by arms and bases in fascinated steel.

For the theater director Robert WilsonThe chairs he designs for his productions are neither accessories nor seats. They are essentially sculptures – some functional, others not, such as a network metal chair Made to launch the shadow of Time, suspended in the air and lowered through the three acts of its production on the life of Sigmund Freud. Five decades of such chairs are exhibited in Soho in Reasoned Gallery and printed as a rigid cover book, with photographs of Martien Mulder. The materials go spectacularly: bamboo, steel, iron, brass, even a single taxidermia leg. For their collaborative production The life and death of Marina AbramovicWilson made Marina Abramovic a rocking chair that is based on what seems to be wooden blades, and for its version of the Italian opera Ally, He made King Crocodile (an anthropomorphic king condemned) has throne This makes an incredible use of bamboo, with polished slats, ribbed back legs and bamboo which is in ribbon, stretched and stretched to create a seat. Reasoned is open Tuesday to Saturday. Pre -order book here.

Marking another gap in “white cube” format, conservative Ashlee HarrisonA former director of the Carpenter Workshop, created a private exhibition, only on the appointment and a living room in a historic brownstone of the Upper East Side-do not call it a gallery, she says. The show will host events and not just static works, and Harrison plans to animate it by discussions, dinners and readings in the evening. His first solo-artist showcase there, “Through the Looking-Glass”, presents an Italian artist Irene CattaneoWHO explore themes of Alice in Wonderland in the exhibits. The flowing bronze lamps roll up and adhere, and a bronze chandelier seems to germinate with the roof, with shimmering floral buttons at the ends. In his Murano glass lights, you can also see evidence of the artist’s relocation to Venice in 2021. Elsewhere in the house, an imperial marble basin flat from the wall and a pearl bronze lamp imitates a snake surrounding in itself. Alongside the Cattaneo pieces, Harrison has set up other works, from emerging artists to the first -rate giants exhibited, notably Thomas Barger resin coated California designer chair, California designer BG Robinson Neo-spatial age aluminum and fake-Fur leding and the wall works of Matisse, Warhol and Tom Wesselmann. Gallery meetings can be made via e-mail. “Through The Looking Glass” ends on April 30.
