Please join us to celebrate the launch of Editions 4 by Studio Paolo Ferrari.
Debuting October 13 at Colony, Edition 4 features new upholstered seating as well as material explorations such as hammered steel and a new colorway of the Studio's acclaimed collaboration with textile artist, and fellow Colony designer Hiroko Takeda.
Next Wednesday, July 20 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm, we will be hosting a fundraising Drink and Draw with raffle items from Colony designers and beyond benefiting the National Network of Abortion Funds.
At Colony, we believe that reproductive rights are human rights, and that abortion care is healthcare. We believe that denying women of basic healthcare and autonomy over our bodies is a patriarchal injustice that will most negatively impact women in low income communities as well as Black, Indigenous and women of color. We are enraged and saddened, and in our grief all we can do is use the tools we have at our disposal to help in what little way we can.
Please join us next Wednesday in unity to drink, draw, celebrate women and donate what we can to help those fighting this fight on our behalf every day.
Purchase raffle tickets (and see what's up for grabs) in advance of the event here.

This month, we were so happy to invite you back into Colony for the opening of JOIN, a group show. We're proud of what our designers and our team were able to build together, even in the face of the uncertainty that has seemed to become our new normal.
The show will be installed through December 10th, so if you haven't yet, please stop by to experience the work and space that we feel represents a moment in time where our hope and reflection coalesce.

Please enjoy a sneak peak of the Cork Collection by Grain, a body of work that began as a fascination with the material itself.
The realization of Grain’s meticulous research of cork’s material capabilities, this collection is a series of CNC lathed tables and a bench that highlight the formal longevity and environmental sustainability of Mediterranean cork. “We wanted to honor this extraordinary material first and foremost,” says Chelsea Minola of Grain. “We worked to take advantage of the block and cylinder forms that are standard in the cork production process and used these standards as the basic formal components of our final designs.” The results are at once monolithic and inviting, familiar and novel, and ultimately both sustainably functional and stunning.
See the Cork Collection and more introductions next week Here at Colony, 2021, our first exhibit since before the pandemic.
For the safety of all our guests and in compliance of NYC COVID regulations, we are accepting RSVPs for staggered entry, limiting capacity to 20 people at a time and checking names and vaccination cards upon arrival.
An amalgamation of a year and a half of uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Here at Colony, 2021 will debut three brand new collections, premiere the first in a new series of collaborative architect-designed pieces, as well as showcase a myriad of largely unseen new work from Colony’s stable of independent American designers.
Here at Colony, 2021 will feature a new collection from Grain, new patterns from Flat Vernacular, a new series of works from architecture studio Workshop/APD as well as little seen new pieces from Bec Brittain, A Space, Deborah Czeresko, Hiroko Takeda and Vonnegut/Kraft.

We are so excited to present artist and designer Deborah Czeresko. The winner of the first season of Netflix’s hit series Blown Away, she first started working with glass in 1987 at the New York Experimental Glass Workshop, now called UrbanGlass. Through a new partnership with Colony, Czeresko has released two new collections, Ameba and Sneakerheads.
The Ameba Collection features a reimagined decanter and highball glasses inspired by the human body. “I wanted to explore and create something body-like,” says Czeresko, “and amoeba extensions look like arms or fingers. Pseudopods also act like glass - endless forms that can create and move on their own.”
The Sneakerheads Collection encompasses four glass designs, from low-top to high-top sneakers. The pieces from the collection use a molding technique to create the shape, and the details are meticulously hand-carved after the glass cools. Each sneaker will come with shoelace options; copper silver, stainless steel, and patina bronze.
“To work with another designer, you need to have a natural dialogue, and with Jean, the collaboration came very naturally,” Czeresko explains. “We are able to work together on different ideas, explore different options, and really collaborate.”
"Deborah's work is both special and authentic; it manages to hold space playfully while still commanding the audience's attention," says Jean Lin. "I'm thrilled to celebrate such a genuine voice within our community at Colony and am an undisputed fan of her work. The Netflix series Blown Away was prime quarantine viewing in my household, and I was cheering for her throughout the season."
