Tom Palmer’s Moon Pool Screen transforms carved wood into a sculptural experience. Hand-carved from London Plane—renowned for its strength and distinctive lacewood grain—each panel is finished in Palmer’s signature blue-black wax, enhancing its rich texture and tactility.Whether used as a standalone work of art, a dramatic architectural element, or a dynamic focal point within a space, the Moon Pool Screen is both elegant and expressive. Framed in steel and mounted with a cleat system for ease and stability, each piece is as thoughtfully engineered as it is visually compelling. Custom options available—size, carving, color, and finish can all be tailored to your vision.

A dynamic selection of works by ceramic artist Malcolm Mobutu Smith is now on view in the gallery through NYCxDesign.
Rooted in improvisation and shaped by the energy of Hip Hop, jazz, graffiti, and graphic abstraction, Smith’s sculptural vessels balance expressive volume with playful flatness. His forms—part cup, part comic, part calligraphic gesture—merge wheel-thrown and hand-built techniques into rhythmically charged compositions. Don’t miss this special presentation during NYCxDesign.

New to the gallery - Cimone Kind Berman’s mirrors are luminous compositions that fuse traditional craftsmanship with a painterly, transformative process. Using hand-applied layers of copper, silver, and gold, she turns clear glass into ethereal portals that shimmer with depth and complexity. The result is a single surface where reflection, light, and material shift and converge—inviting viewers to see both themselves and the quiet, elemental beauty of change. In addition to her exhibited works, Berman’s painterly mirrors are available by custom commission. The gallery collaborates closely with clients to create bespoke pieces in a range of sizes and custom shapes—each finished with her signature layered technique. Whether conceived as standalone works or integrated into architectural elements, these custom mirrors offer a striking synthesis of art and design.

Judy Kensley McKie’s Monkey Chair is a rare example from an edition of 12, uniquely crafted in patinated bronze and stained walnut—a striking material departure from her more commonly seen carved wood pieces. Known for transforming furniture into sculptural storytelling, McKie brings her signature animal motifs to life with wit and reverence. Here, a pair of carved monkeys seamlessly form the arms and legs of the chair, blending playfulness with impeccable craftsmanship.⁠“I’m drawn to objects that have a certain feeling to them so that you can see they were made by a human being who thought in a certain way …” – Judy Kensley McKie ⁠.

Now on view through June 6, Henry Bermudez: Art in Continuous Evolution marks a bold new chapter in the artist’s mythologically inspired practice. Featuring large-scale graphic sculptures and a rare suite of hand-painted prints, the show reflects Bermudez’s continued experimentation with hybrid forms and layered narratives.
His work is held in collections such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Neuberger Museum, the Modern Art Museum of Mexico, and the Venezuela National Gallery. A 2012 Pollock-Krasner Grant recipient, Bermudez lives and works in Philadelphia, where his art serves as an autobiographical meditation on cultural fusion and reinvention.

On view at 200 Lex - The Ngumu Jangka Warnti (All Made from Rubbish) Collection is a powerful collaboration between designer Trent Jansen and Nyikina saddler Johnny Nargoodah that reimagines waste as art. Crafted from salvaged fencing and saddle leather, the collection includes benches, chairs, tables, bowls, and a striking standing cabinet—each piece shaped by hand, memory, and shared experimentation. Starting with discarded aluminum mesh fencing from a scrapyard, they hammered and shaped the material into organic forms, softening its raw texture with New Zealand saddle leather. Fusing Johnny’s deep connection to leatherwork and station life in Fitzroy Crossing with Trent’s conceptual approach rooted in Material Culture Theory, these hybrid forms carry the stories, skills, and values of two distinct cultures.

Now on view at the gallery: Judy Kensley McKie’s Lynx Table—a striking example of her signature blend of sculpture and function. A seminal figure in the American studio furniture movement, McKie is celebrated for transforming carved animal forms into playful, enduring works of art. Drawing inspiration from pre-Columbian, African, and Native American traditions, her work balances whimsy with reverence for nature and myth.
The Lynx Table was recently featured in the “Masterworks of Collectible Design” Podium exhibition at .LA 2024, as renewed attention surrounds McKie’s visionary contributions to American design history.

Artist Designer Nick Missel creates his Infrathin Collection of stools and benches using his signature silicone casting technique. French-American painter Marcel Duchamp came up with the term “nfrathin” to refer to a rapidly fading trace or aura of something that was, similar to the “warmth of a seat that has just been vacated.” To create the works in this series, Missel uses compressed bales of discarded cardboard packaging and expertly casts and layers a skin of silicone around them. The small benches range from bright, candy-colored cubes to grayscale “negatives” that echo their original remnants, all while offering sculptural seating and surfaces to interior spaces.

Say Missel, “The coalescence of our waste defines us and connects us across economic backgrounds. Boxes for diapers, avocados, appliances tell a story of our lives, our communities, our memories, our hopes.”

Introducing the Lith Side Tables by Tom Palmer, part of his groundbreaking Fractura Series. These sculptural accent pieces are crafted from raw blocks of crystalline acrylic, balancing raw-machined textures with high-polished finishes and carved arch details. Inspired by natural quartz and driven by material innovation, Palmer uses a new acrylic composed of 70% recycled content. Internal fractures are naturally formed and infused with Palladium, creating silvery inclusions unique to each piece. The Fractura Series highlights Palmer’s mastery of form, process, and surface—where sustainable materials meet refined craftsmanship.
