Egg Collective designs its homely showroom in old Manhattan law office
New York design studio Egg Collective has opened a new showroom in Lower Manhattan's Tribeca neighbourhood, where its furniture is displayed in rooms laid out like a home.
The studio's three female founders, Crystal Ellis, Stephanie Beamer and Hillary Petrie, stripped back and updated a former law office to create the new space.
Located on the ground floor of a corner building, the sun-lit outpost marks Egg Collective's second showroom in the city, following a prior spot in a nearby industrial building.
The layout is intended to be like a residence as nooks feature intimate arrangements of the studio's furniture collections.
"For this transition, we wanted to shift slightly to a place that felt more residential and a little bit warmer," Ellis told Dezeen at the showroom's opening on 22 May. "We wanted to have an environment that was conducive to the work, rather than having the work be in a white box."
Egg Collective's showroom differs dramatically from the studio's first location, which opened in 2015 and was a "very open, airy white box kind-of space".
The new space features thick curving walls, honed limestone flooring and cosy details like net curtains and custom carpets. Colours are provided by the soft green, cream and dusty pink tones in wallpaper by Brooklyn studio Callidus Guild.
At the front is a large dining table and chair, a console, sectional, coffee table and lighting. A custom-designed polished stainless steel reception desk...
