A wood wall intersects a white brick wall to create the lounge area at Uprise Art, complete with a navy couch and black chairs on a red circular rug.

Part gallery and part workspace, our Tribeca, New York space doubles as a space for exhibitions and collaboration. Working closely with Office of Tangible Space, we designed our gallery to be a visual representation of our commitment to new approaches.

Situated on the fourth floor, the elevator opens into the space, revealing a curved stone table with an oak tambour base. The material palette for the table was inspired by contemporary and historic moments in the art world; marine fir plywood evokes the works of Donald Judd, while travertine is an homage to old-world stone sculpture. At the far end of the table sits a glowing orb, adding a touch of magic. The table also conceals a set of flat file drawers, which house various works on paper.

A bean-shaped wood table sits in the center of Uprise Art's open loft, with a wood screen suspended from above.
A wood oval table sits next to wood bookshelf with various sculptures, propped up against a white brick wall at Uprise Art.

Along the side-wall, a custom-fabricated 20 foot wide shelving system displays sculptural objects from various Uprise Art artists. The shelves feature a mix of curved and linear edges, providing surfaces of varying depths for sculptures of all sizes. A rectangular shelf sits nestled in the center, acting as a focal point to balance the airy, open structure.

Integrating the historical details of the building, the unit [is built] to hug the wall and fit like a puzzle piece around the existing pipes and insets. The result is an asymmetrical fir plywood unit of shelves that features a mix of curved and linear edges, providing surfaces of varying depths.

The lounge provides a meeting space that feels more like a living room than a conference room. The fir wood walls and the coffee table connect the areas, adding a warmth and texture to an otherwise white-walled space. Sculptural lighting by Uprise Art artist Angel Oloshove casts warm light through strategically placed cutouts.

The space is peppered with functional objects commissioned by Uprise Art artists, including a pair of colorful benches by collaborative duo Adam Frezza and Terri Chiao.

The curved edges continue on into the kitchen, where a custom-built island pulls you in with it's growing undulations. A minimal palette was selected to provide a backdrop for unique ceramics by Pilar Wiley and other Uprise Art artists. Echoing the ceramics on display, the backsplash is made with handcrafted porcelain tile in a soft white.

Raw plywood covers the walls and floors to create an exhibition space at Uprise Art, filled with abstract paintings and sculptures.

Following the curved line on the floor takes you to our dedicated exhibition space. The Judd-inspired fir plywood clads the walls, while custom-built screen walls cap the edges of the space.
