To celebrate the opening of 1st Dibs’ first brick and mortar showroom, Roger Prigent’s Malmaison was invited to exhibit pieces from his collection in the central gallery space. As the pieces by Serge Roche, and Jansen were predominately white; a violet palette was selected to allow the furnishings to pop. The exhibition featured some remarkable pieces including Helena Rubenstein’s illuminated Plexiglas bed by Ladislas Medgyes. It is situated on a platform covered with a Joseph Carini silk rug. Overlooking the bed is Rubinstein’s portrait and across from the bed is a mirrored mural by Christian Berard originally made for Roseland.
