May 16, 2024 (New York City) – Sustainable contract furniture manufacturer Keilhauer is honored to welcome world-renowned interior and product designer Laurence Carr in their New York City flagship showroom as a part of OuiDesign!, a program that celebrates French design across the city. OuiDesign! is presented by Villa Albertine and Mobilier National, and is supported by the French Institute in partnership with NYCxDesign. Carr is one of the key featured artists in Keilhauer’s newly-renovated NYC showroom, where several art pieces across a variety of mediums are on display.
Taking place during NYCxDesign Week (May 16-23, 2024), Laurence Carr will be hosting a VIP industry and media-only breakfast, followed by an appointment-only showcase in the Keilhauer showroom in the New York Design Center. During this showcase, Carr will be presenting her timeless collectible vessels, all produced by Studio Laurence, her line of sustainable luxury home goods. This is a natural collaboration between Keilhauer and Carr – her work is featured in the Keilhauer showroom’s diverse art collection that is on display amongst the company’s furniture products, carefully curated by Keilhauer President Meghan Sherwin. Additionally, Keilhauer and Studio Laurence share a deep passion for sustainability and circular design – both brands aim to reduce their respective environmental impacts through the use of responsible materials, zero-waste manufacturing, and championing eco-friendly innovations.
The American and French design scenes have a rich history of collaboration and sharing ideas, sparking innovative explorations and initiatives. During NYCxDesign, OuiDesign! will feature work by dozens of exceptional French makers in galleries from Chelsea to Greenpoint, and Long Island City to Industry City, illustrating this unique international relationship in real time.
The VIP and media-only breakfast portion of the Studio Laurence x Keilhauer event is a private event, taking place 10am-11:30am. The proceeding showcase for the public will take place 12pm-5pm, by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, please contact Keilhauer NYC showroom manager Denise Petratos, denise@primasonsymchik.com.
