About Us
We are a high-end design showroom showcasing a curated selection of contemporary and collectible design. We’re located in the top floor of a restored 19th century factory building in Hudson, NY; half of the building is a hotel, the other half is a restaurant, lounge, spa, and retail space. With a strong retail component and a rotating exhibition program, we serve as a platform for emerging and established designers and artists, offering customers a rich and dynamic experience both in person and online.
