Arrived from the U.K. and aggressively growing its presence in the North American market is Typhoon, which has moved into its first-ever U.S. showroom, a 1,200-square-foot location on the 8th floor. For the past 20 years since its founding, this family-owned company has developed a compelling portfolio of hip, retro-cool kitchen, dining and cookware products. Under the Rayware umbrella, it includes other globally recognized name brands: Mason Cash, Kilner and Price & Kensington. The space also will serve as Typhoon’s North American headquarters.
The 4th floor showroom for Robinson Home has undergone a gut renovation, totally transforming the presentation of the company’s collections which include Oneida, Swish and Zing. On the 7th floor, Pasabahce, the acclaimed Turkish resource for glass and other tabletop needs, also is the beneficiary of a full showroom and U.S. headquarters renovation. The redo includes a dedicated space for the company’s distinctive design series, Nude, a contemporary collection of glass creations for all corners of a home.
The building’s own makeover continues with a focus on the entrance, lobby, and lower level buyer’s lounge.
“We’re in the thick of the renovation and we are excited that it’s on schedule,” said Laurie Burns, Forty One Madison’s Director and Senior Vice President. “The show will go on with all 95 of our showrooms open for business and unaffected by the construction. Our temporary reception desk will be operational to register visitors and ensure everyone does so quickly and efficiently. The complimentary daily coat check will be relocated on the 10th floor where guests can check coats and bags. Also on the 10th floor, will be the Media Wall, where a variety of home and lifestyle magazines are complimentary, courtesy of the publishers.”
Interior Designer Day, planned for Thursday, September 29, kicks off with a private breakfast reception hosted by Burns to introduce designers to Kaitlin Petersen, an editor of the beloved and recently revived Metropolitan Home magazine. Following, guests can explore and shop the participating showrooms, meet with company executives, and see firsthand the newest products and latest trends. Showrooms remain open until 6 p.m.
“Interior Designer Day has proven to be extremely valuable for interior designers, growing in-depth knowledge about this category and expanding their network of go-to resources for the types of décor details needed to complete residential as well as commercial projects,” said Burns.
