“Our clients often say that abhaya feels more like a museum than a shop” http://www.abhayatribeca.com
Abhaya is a showroom/gallery focused on Asian antiques solely curated by the Owners. Minimal was the approach. The massive concrete columns within this 18 foot high space were stripped and restored, a new burnished, cloud like, concrete floor with mahogany inlays connects the floor with the structure. A floor to ceiling sandblasted glass wall isolates one of the galleries from the main space while a blackened steel/mahogany stair connects the two floors.
