Vinci US Real Estate and Manhattan-based real estate development firm Hogg Holdings announced a partnership with world-renowned Italian design furnishings company B&BItalia to curate the lobby and panoramic, resident-only rooftop terrace of 287/LES, Houston Street’s most successful new development. B&B Italia will provide top-of-the-line furniture and full design services to create a warm and cohesive residential program for the boutique building in Downtown’s most dynamic neighborhood.
Italian-Inspired Design
Located at 287 East Houston Street, 287/LES has an Italian-inspired presence that resonates outside with an elegant façade comprised of blackened steel, black textured brick and oversized floor-to-ceiling windows. 287/LES was designed by AA STUDIO, a global design firm led by Italian-born Architect Aldo Andreoli, with elegant finishes that exemplify the concept of Spatialism, an artistic approach pioneered by turn-of-the-century artist Lucio Fontana. The residences feature Italian floor-to-ceiling windows, custom Italian cabinetry by Alta, honed Carrara marble countertops and backsplash, and floor-to-ceiling Bianco Dolomiti marble tile walls, creating an urban oasis of Italian design finishes.
“B&B Italia's brand is distinguished by an unrivalled blend of creativity and innovation with premium quality furnishings designed to enhance indoor and outdoor areas, as evidenced by its receiving four Compasso D‘Oro prizes, one of the most prestigious honors in the field of Italian industrial design,” said Jose Antonio Grabowsky, Head of Real Estate Investments at Vinci Partners USA.
The Achievement of a Shared Vision
“We are thrilled to welcome B&B Italia as a natural extension of the Italian design story at 287/LES. They are tastemakers of the highest order who understand how to make a house into a fabulous, luxurious home. We cannot wait to debut our collaboration later this summer in the lobby and rooftop, when residents are able to move in.” said Shelley O’Keefe, Senior Development Advisor at Corcoran Group Marketing, the brokerage responsible for the sales and marketing of the residences.
