On the occasion of its 200th anniversary, the Brooklyn Museum — a leading institution with continent-spanning collections, including works by American sculpture pioneer William Rush to Kenyan-born British studio potter Magdalene Odundo and French painting disruptors Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, and Paul Cézanne, among others — has tapped local studio Office of Tangible Space to envision a new café where "food, art, design, and community" meet.
Known for their highly inventive approach to interiors and product-focused projects that bring the human side of design to the forefront, the Brooklyn and San Francisco-based duo Michael Yarinsky and Kelley Perumbeti have transformed the sun-blessed front pavilion of the museum into a playground for artistic dialogue and creative innovation. This quirky hub joins the best New York design hotels and the plethora of trendy New York restaurants for design lovers in confirming the City That Never Sleeps as one of the world's foremost design capitals.
