Bunakara, a Portuguese resource for home furnishings and textiles, has teamed up with Life Designs LLC to open the Life Designs NYC Showroom for design professionals in New York City.
Located in the fashion district near the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, the 2,400-square-foot space will feature a variety of artists, designers and manufacturers represented by The Life Designs Group to offer high-end residential and hospitality design professionals the ability to experience products in-person in an upscale environment conveniently located in the heart of the city.
“We are thrilled to open our new showroom in New York,” said Dixon Bartlett, U.S. national sales and marketing director for Bunakara. “The loft-style space is a perfect venue for us to continue to grow the Bunakara brand in the U.S. with the design trade as well as with editors and influencers in the design industry.” “Our vision for the Life Designs NYC Showroom is to become a convenient one-stop resource for designers to experience the most innovative and exciting home furnishings in the industry,” said Amy Lynn, principal of Life Designs LLC. “As a former retailer and designer, I knew at first sight that the Bunakara line would be a great fit for the space. It's so special and the attention to detail is absolutely refined. The Bunakara display within the space is certainly a show stopper.”
The new showroom will be open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. to the trade by appointment. In addition, the showroom will be hosting events weekly, including “lunch and learn” sessions with designers and trend and color experts.
