PRINTEMPS NEW YORK
ONE WALL STREET
Issue # 1491

Red Room Mosaic Art, 1931

Designated an official New York City interior landmark in 2024, the Red Room is the pièce de résistance: sculptural walls, soaring 33-foot ceilings, and nearly three million red and gold mosaic tiles. It’s the vision of Hildreth Meière, the trailblazing Art Deco artist whose work also graces Radio City Music Hall and Rockefeller Center. Completed in 1931, originally designed as the banking hall for the Irving Trust Company, and later the Bank of New York, the space still feels bold, glamorous, and full of life …and shoes!

A newly crafted mosaic “river” by Pierre Mesguiche now winds its way from the Red Room’s entrance to the adjacent Red Room Bar. A celebrated mosaicist, and Printemps Paris collaborator, Mesguiche’s latest work creates a playful dialogue between Paris and New York and between the past and the future.

South Korean artist Maria (Taehyoung) Jeon, brings a breezy charm to our store windows with Riviera Botanica, a layered digital work inspired by the carefree elegance of summer in the French Riviera. Merging vibrant flora with subtle human forms, she evokes a mood of playfulness and ease, bringing summer in botanical form to our windows.

Raised between New Zealand and the UK and now based in Seoul, Jeon draws on a multicultural perspective and a background in printmaking and animation. Eastern and Western influences blend in each digital brushstroke, bringing depth and harmony to her richly composed works

Finnish artist Teemu Salonen brings a touch of the fantastical with his botanical, sculptural lamps that burst with color and movement. Known for blending natural forms with surrealist flair, Salonen’s pieces feel at once organic and otherworldly. Each sculpture invites a closer look, adding moments of surprise and delight throughout the space where blooms that appear caught in mid-movement underscore our endless spring

Amsterdam-based artist Maarten Vrolijk brings a sense of softness and joy to the space with his Sakura vases, each a playful, oversized form rendered in soft curves and luminous, layered hues. With a spirit that nods to Romanticism and Art Nouveau, the vases blur the line between function and sculpture. Their fragile transparency, set against the strong lines and saturated palette of the Red Room, creates a beautifully poetic contras

Belgian artist Charles Kaisin brings his signature vision to New York with a shimmering flock of golden origami-like birds suspended across our Salon windows overlooking Broadway. Known for sculptural works that explore light, geometry, and organic form, Kaisin previously created a celebrated installation beneath the historic dome at Printemps Haussmann – making his presence at Printemps New York a fitting new bridge between Paris and New York

Brooklyn-based artist William Coggin created the Champagne Bar’s ceramic-clad façade, an organic sculptural form that evokes the look and feel of sea coral. Large slabs replete with craggy textures and hand-formed curves create a multi-sensory experience that invites guests to pause, touch, and take it all in. Tucked at the end of our marble Salle de Bain, the Champagne Bar offers an intimate escape – the perfect spot to enjoy a perfectly chilled, small-batch cuvée, surrounded by beauty.

Multi-media artist and fashion designer Christian Pellizzari brings a burst of whimsy and wonder to our Grand Foyer with Odyssey of Nature’s Rebirth, a vibrant, dreamlike garden where Murano glass flowers and intricate 3D prints bloom in full color. Having grown up near Venice, Pellizzari often draws on the centuries-old traditions of Murano glassmaking, blending them with contemporary techniques to create works that feel both timeless and new. Lining the entry with dazzling flowers, he welcomes every guest into a world of beauty, imagination, and renewal. Artwork is available for purchase.

Pierre Marie, the renowned French glass artist, brings his exceptional mastery to Printemps New York with a series of hand-crafted, stained-glass windows and panels featured in both the Red Room Bar and Maison Passerelle. Bold, botanical, and with a nod to the Baroque, these pieces capture the interplay of light and color, drawing inspiration from the intricate patterns and grandeur of the iconic Printemps Paris dome. Each piece blends contemporary techniques with timeless design, making these works of art a stunning tribute to Parisian craftsmanship and the art of glassmaking – a first for Pierre Marie in the U.S.
