Italian furniture brand DePadova has opened its first US showroom in New York City, where products are presented alongside items from its parent company Boffi and sister label MA/U Studio.
The DePadova store spans 4,000 square feet (371 square metres) across the third floor of a historic building, which boasts high ceilings and large windows, on a corner plot on Greene Street in Soho.

The brand is expanding into the US, after it was acquired by Italian kitchen and bath company Boffi in 2015.
DePadova products were previously showcased in the Boffi store down the street, but the new flagship offers the opportunity to display the furniture in a space that better represents the wider company.

Boffi designs ? as well as items by Copenhagen-based MA/U Studio, which the group bought last year ? are also shown in the new DePadova store. "The opening marks the establishment of the brand's very own headquarters, as its products were previously integrated in the Boffi Soho showroom just a few blocks away," said a statement from De Padova.

Italian architect and designer Piero Lissoni ? who serves as art director for the brands ? worked with Boffi's design team on the interior of the store, which opened May 2018.
Brick walls, old pillars, and exposed pipes ? all of which are painted white ? create a bright backdrop and spacious atmosphere for the showroom.

In keeping with this minimal shell, original light wood floors also allow the furniture pieces to pop.
