AtelierTek Architects

November 2024

In celebration of their 50th anniversary, Maison Gerard commissioned AtelierTek Architects to revamp their venerable Greenwich Village gallery of “functional art.” Newly opened up and rendered light and bright, the showroom is a highly neutral and flexible machine to optimally showcase the wildly unique pieces curated for display. The project features a large format 48”x48” porcelain tile from Casalgrande Padana’s Metropolis Series, as well as matching step treads for a staircase to the lower level. The minimalist concrete aesthetic of the tiles provides an ideal complement to the gallery’s eclectic blend of fine French Art Deco, mid-century, and contemporary design.
