X Facebook WhatsApp

Susan Clark, a pivotal figure in the world of modern design curation, is embarking on an exciting new phase with Radnor’s latest initiative, Evolution in Form. This new exhibition is beautifully set in a spacious penthouse located on the 70th floor of the majestic Sutton Tower in Manhattan, offering breathtaking views and a new perspective on design in living spaces. Clark’s work has significantly altered our interactions with design in residential environments, fostering a unique conversation between the objects and their surroundings that goes beyond the conventional gallery setup.

The move to this expansive 5,000-square-foot penthouse not only signifies a geographical change but also marks a distinct shift in Clark’s curatorial approach. In this new space, she adopts a simpler, more refined aesthetic that harmonizes with the architectural elements designed by Thomas Juul-Hansen, whose tower now stands as the tallest on Manhattan’s East Side at 850 feet.

“I’m thrilled to launch our latest venue at Sutton Tower with this fresh collection,” remarked Susan Clark. “Evolution in Form is a representation of our journey into new creative territories with our designers, and our ongoing effort to foster an evolving conversation between design and architecture. The specific challenges and opportunities presented by our exhibition spaces lead to more impactful design solutions and a more dynamic presentation of our pieces. At Sutton Tower, the collection’s emphasis on subtle textures and a genuine, personal approach to design takes on new significance.”

The exhibition space is bathed in natural light which highlights the exquisite craftsmanship of Toshio Tokunaga’s latest dining table. The table, crafted from 350-year-old Japanese Zelkova wood using traditional Kanna techniques, showcases the intricate patterns of growth and history inherent in the wood, untouched by modern machinery.

A key feature of the exhibition is Sebastian Cox’s Sendal collection, which serves as a robust example of sustainable design practices. Cox’s commitment to using naturally sourced British wood and eco-friendly finishes results in furniture that balances robustness with a sense of airy lightness. The collection includes an armoire, a credenza, and a console table, all designed with an undercut base that makes these substantial pieces appear to float, thereby lessening their visual heaviness.

Evolution in Form presents an array of works that delve into the interplay between traditional methods and innovative approaches across different materials and techniques. Noteworthy among these is the debut of Radnor’s outdoor furniture line, the Pausa sofa collection by Bunn Studio. These sculptural rattan pieces are both large in scale and inviting, blending age-old crafting techniques with modern design aesthetics.
