Located at 128 E. 32nd St. in Manhattan just across from the New York Design Center, the showroom features more than 1,000 square feet of space and is managed by Three L & Co. The showroom layout and displays were designed by Ramondo Fillippo, an architect based in Rome who works exclusively for Margaritelli. His designs were based on Margaritelli’s worldwide corporate style, which is meant to promote public brand recognition and to offer room for many customers to browse at once. Spotlights suspended on slim-line, bright chrome tracking are placed strategically to give the showroom a light and airy ambience.
One of the unique features of the new showroom is a section of floor made from two layers of highly impact-resistant glass. Many 3-by-3-inch panels of glass were laid to form columns of a grid, with real leaves pressed between the layers to give customers the impression that they are walking in a forest, according to Margaritelli. The rest of the floor incorporates the company’s Listone Giordano line in French White Oak, specially designed in 3-by-3-inch raised panels for use in the showroom. The flooring is topped with a durable commercial finish.
