Archivia Books Pop-Up Bookstore Opens December 1
The Molteni Group and Archivia Books are joining forces to invite you to toast the holiday season with furnishings, kitchens, and books at Archivia Books’ pop-up bookstore, which opens tomorrow evening.
Co-founders Cynthia Conigliaro and Will Rogers opened the independent bookshop Archivia Books on New York’s Upper East Side in 2007 to specialize in illustrated books. The original Archivia: The Decorative Arts Book Shop was located on Madison Avenue across from the Whitney Museum from 1991-2001, and had established an international reputation. Now housed in a lovely, 800 square-foot space on Manhattan’s Lexington Avenue, Archivia Books features over three thousand titles on architecture, design, decorative arts, interiors, furniture, gardens, fine arts, fashion, and a miscellany of fiction and non-fiction. The store serves neighborhood clientele as well as a professional base of architects, designers, gardeners, collectors, museum curators and all those interested in the visual and applied arts. Designed by Cynthia Conigliaro herself, the shop also offers a physical space where customers seeking design inspiration, cultural exploration, and historical reference can discover and interact.
The Italian furnishing company Molteni Group opened the two-floor Molteni&C Dada Unifor Flagship Store in the Soho neighborhood of Manhattan. The store features Molteni’s modern home furnishings, the Dada kitchen collections, doors by Citterio, and the contemporary furniture built for work environments by Unifor. The New York Flagship Store is the first example of integration not just of technology and style, but also of retail between all the firms in the Molteni Group.
We are excited to present the opening of their pop-up bookstore this season!

Tuesday, December 1, 2009 from 6-8 pm

Round-Up: Lofted Kitchens
The kitchen. It’s made a big comeback in recent years. This is especially true for kitchens with open layouts that lend themselves to a more communal dining experience. According to Adilin Darling Design, an architecture firm based in San Francisco, when a kitchen has an open layout, it becomes a “stage” within which the most average of cooks can shine. In that vein, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite open kitchens that we’ve found inspiring for your enjoyment this Friday.

Loft Tour: Cutler Loft
7/17/09 We’re thinking someone likes to throw parties in this loft, what with the detail that has gone into the kitchen and the impressive shelving created just for the glasses and liquor and the individual cubby holes for the wine. And who wouldn’t want to throw fabulous shindigs in this loft? We honestly don’t blame them, and we can sense a “Loft Party” happening at this scene . . .
The Cutler Loft in New York, NY came to us by way of Murdock Young Architects. We liked the streamlined-feel to the loft, yet it still held on to its industrial roots. A nice example of how the new and old mix together–the classic loft combo. The mix of metal and brick pretty much soothes our interior soul. What do you think of the mix?
