"While New York's design center has become even more concentrated in Tribeca in recent years, a handful of new galleries are bringing their energy to Long Island City, the Lower East Side, and the Meatpacking District. Interestingly, all four are not staking their survival on a gallery model alone; the majority of the new spaces featured here are reviving brick and mortar as an extension of their thriving businesses."
"When Lisa Perry established Onna House in a Japanese modernist house within East Hampton's prestigious Georgica Pond section, the collector and fashion designer wanted to give under-the-radar women artists a fresh, unpretentious platform to showcase their work. The house provided a serene environment for the solo and group shows of fine art, furniture, and sculpture that she curated. The same philosophy carries over to her just-opened Soho offshoot."
New galleries are emerging in Long Island City, the Lower East Side, and the Meatpacking District as New York’s design center remains concentrated in Tribeca. Several new spaces are operating beyond a traditional gallery model, using physical storefronts as extensions of existing businesses to showcase clients and projects. Onna House founder Lisa Perry emphasizes domestic, unpretentious settings to present art, craft, and furniture, recreating East Hampton architectural details in a Soho loft. Interiors studio Somerset House focuses on vintage furniture and values patina, history, and craft in its residential and retail work.
