Vitra in New York: showroom by Lindy Roy

1200 square metres of floor space on three levels divided between showroom, offices, selling space, gallery, right in what is currently the trendiest part of New York, the Meatmarket - a new outlet for Vitra opened in mid November in Manhattan. A place that the New York Times described as having a restaurant like flavour – through the two storey high shop window, passers by can see rubber covered platforms which like conveyor belts, hold the famous chairs of the Swiss company lead by Rolf Fehlbaum.

The shop has been designed by Lindy Roy, promising young architect, intelligent and unconventional, already “called up” by Joseph Rosa for an exhibition in the spring of 2003 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Born in South Africa, graduated from Columbia University and obtaining work experience in various practices including those of Frank Israel and Peter Eisenman before starting up alone a couple of years ago, Lindy has already designed a series of projects which have not gone unnoticed. For example? A “spa” in Botswana where guests can bathe amongst the crocodiles, the “Heliski Hotel” in Alaska which skiers arrive at the top of the mountains by helicopter, an installation in the courtyard at the PS1 in Queens last year and a summer residence in Sagaponac (Long Island).
