This September, Vica by Annabelle Selldorf is inaugurating its first brick-and-mortar setting for its furniture collection at 30 Bond Street in New York City’s NoHo neighborhood.

This unique dual functionality offers the opportunity to discover Vica furniture in person for the first time and establishes a permanent location for Palo Gallery.
