We are thrilled to be part of the permanent collection curated for the new Hotel Verdant, just three blocks from our studio.
Our installation “Elemental: Of Earth, Fire & Air” is located in the first floor lobby, near the elevators. We’ve worked for nearly a year on design and creation of the pieces in this collection. We are equally excited to see the work of fellow artists and honored to be among them.
Check out this fun reel created by Varitay Studio of the installation process.
The rooftop bar ‘Eave’ and first floor restaurant ‘Marguerite’ are scheduled to open August 1st.
