ESPASSO

Some pieces stop you mid-room.⁠
In the ESPASSO Apartment, each object carries history into the present, where new memories are about to be created. Together, they continue to carry on legacy, offering environments for the eyes to swoon over.⁠

Eisler & Arnoult now on view at ESPASSO through this Friday.⁠
⁠
Bringing together two distinct visions of Brazilian modernism, the exhibition places Martin Eisler’s elegant, sculptural approach in dialogue with Michel Arnoult’s democratic and industrial perspective on design.⁠
⁠
We invite you to experience it in person at our Tribeca gallery before it closes this Friday.⁠

Works from the show are also available online through our website (link in bio).⁠

On the occasion of NYCxDESIGN, ESPASSO marks a new chapter with a week-long program of exhibitions, installations, and conversations unfolding across different spaces.⁠
⁠
Rooted in an ongoing commitment to Brazilian design, this moment signals a more interdisciplinary engagement with a broader cultural dialogue.⁠
⁠
Within this context, we come together with VERSO to introduce a complementary perspective on contemporary, collectible design. The result is a program that moves beyond continuity toward a broader exchange across time, geography, and discipline.⁠
⁠
Stay tuned.

In honor of what would have been José Zanine Caldas’ 107th birthday this weekend, we are sharing a little bit about the remarkable architect-designer-sculptor. In reflecting on his story, we have collected images of Caldas and his multi-scalar one-of-a-kind works, rooted in their environment. More than objects and spaces, his practice stood as a position: commitment to process, and to working with nature rather than against it. ⁠
