NYC’s Iconic Publishing Fortress Transforms into an Oasis of Human-Centric Lighting and Design with Color Select® Tunable White
It’s a new era in midtown New York City, as the “Devil Wears Prada” ethos gives way to wellness, community and sustainability. Owned by The Durst Organization, One Five One (151 West 42nd Street) was known as the home of the Conde Nast publishing empire and its ultra, exclusive Frank Gehry designed cafeteria – accessible only to Conde Nast and their treasured guests. It was the place where some of the most influential magazine editors like Vogue’s Anna Wintour and Vanity Fair’s Graydon Carter could be found whispering over gourmet entrees in a backdrop of strikingly curvaceous glass panels. The glossy publishing house has since moved downtown, leaving Frank Gehry’s signature architectural elements behind and opening a new era for the illustrious cafeteria to reintroduce itself as a shining example of the latest trends in interior design and personalized lighting with USAI Lighting.
