"In 2018, Zesty Meyers and Evan Snyderman opened a second design gallery at a scale that matches the extravagant pieces that they're so good at selling: 8,000 square feet of bright, clean space across three floors of an 1869 cast-iron building on White Street in Tribeca. An atrium in the back had 40-foot ceilings. A wood-shelved library on the middle floor was worthy of their artist books."
"Meyers and Snyderman met in a group of performing glass artists, and started hawking antiques at the market on 26th Street, teaching themselves 20th-century design history and the particulars of the market. Their tastes - from postwar Italian lamps, clean-lined Brazilian chairs, and droll millennial ceramics - pushed and pulled the market. No. 64 was a museum-quality space for pieces that finally had the attention of museum curators."
Zesty Meyers and Evan Snyderman expanded R & Company in 2018 with an 8,000-square-foot, three-floor gallery at 64 White in Tribeca featuring bright, clean spaces and a 40-foot-ceiling atrium. The layout includes a wood-shelved library and dedicated offices overlooking the showroom, enabling larger exhibitions and institutional-caliber presentations. The owners progressed from performing glass artists and market stall dealers to influential curators of postwar Italian lighting, Brazilian furniture, and contemporary ceramics. Architect Kulapat Yantrasast installed a dramatic black-and-white marble floating staircase, plywood hanging walls, and a built-in crane to accommodate oversized chandeliers and 22-foot structures.
