Midtown Showroom and Gallery

This studio and gallery in Midtown Manhattan is primarily a place to meet with clients and consultants and also serves as a showroom for contemporary art installations. An efficient workspace functions equally as a comfortable social environment and an elegant gallery for displaying design work and that of local artists.

NMA carried out a full gut renovation of the space, stripping the walls to expose the interior brick, refurbishing the wood floors, and restoring the original tin ceiling. Custom millwork desks and shelves of our design line the walls and help shape the interior of the studio workspace. Workstations also function as art displays. The desks can be converted to conceal computer equipment and store work materials during gallery exhibitions.

Anchoring the main space is the prototype for NMA’s patented Multi Storage Unit, which incorporates wide drawers for drawings, planters for seasonal plants, and cushions for seating. The conference room to the rear centers on a custom table. Above it hangs a custom block-and-tackle lighting fixture, also an NMA design.
