Unveiling Artemest Penthouse by MAWD at The Greenwich by Rafael Viñoly

The 912-foot-tall skyscraper, stands as a testament to Rafael Viñoly's enduring legacy in New York City's skyline. This sophisticated showcase is brought to life through a collaboration between Artemest and MAWD | March and White Design, the project’s globally acclaimed interior design team. Each selected hand-made piece within the penthouse, from furniture to art, décor, and lighting, embodies the unparalleled quality and heritage of each artisan, garnered through generations of mastery of their craft. With these unique works curated from the Artemest collection, MAWD transformed the penthouse into a living gallery of Italian masterpieces like no other in NYC.

For the exterior design of the tower, Rafael Viñoly took an architectural and structural approach, highlighted by an exposed concrete column that runs throughout the height of the building and a unique glass facade with rounded corners offering expansive panoramic views.

The penthouse’s interiors draw inspiration from the tower’s curved architectural form and views of the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty, World Trade Center, and the NYC Skyline. The living room, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, offers breathtaking vistas framed by a sculptural sofa in soft white, evoking a sense of being among the clouds. Complementary pieces, such as a glossy bird's-eye maple sideboard and a Canaletto wood bookcase, add texture and depth to the modern aesthetic. In the dining area, a walnut table with sculptural legs is paired with a floating brass chandelier, creating a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. Each bedroom serves as a serene retreat adorned with custom Italian furnishings and artisanal details, including Murano glass and monolithic sculptures. The lighting throughout the penthouse, both functional and atmospheric, enhances the serene ambiance, providing a perfect retreat from the bustling city below.

The collaboration between Artemest and MAWD is a testament to a shared vision of creating spaces that tell a story. The result is a space that not only exudes luxury but also captures the essence of Italian heritage. This project goes beyond aesthetics - each handcrafted piece reflects the spirit of its maker and evokes a sense of place, resulting in an environment where every detail feels personal and meaningful.
