After a decade of staging exhibitions inside Manhattan residences, Radnor<\/a> is opening a gallery in Brooklyn, closer to where the story began. The studio has operated out of Gowanus\u2019s American Can Factory<\/a> for years, while a meaningful share of its roster\u2014including Egg Collective<\/a>, Workstead<\/a>, and Pelle<\/a>\u2014built early careers in the borough\u2019s workshops and lofts. The new penthouse at Brooklyn Tower<\/a> arrives for Radnor\u2019s 10th anniversary as both a homecoming and the latest expression of founder Susan Clark\u2019s long-running interest in showing collectible design where it can be imagined in use.<\/p>\n

That approach has been central to Radnor since its earliest exhibitions. In 2018, Material Interiors<\/a> transformed a two-bedroom residence at David Chipperfield Architects\u2019 The Bryant into a fully functioning installation, co-curated with Workstead and shaped by the apartment\u2019s herringbone oak floors and honed-terrazzo borders. Three years later, Clark brought the format to 180 East 88th Street<\/a>, an Upper East Side residence developed by DDG and Global Holdings, where she collaborated with Elizabeth Roberts Architects on an experiential showroom that paired Radnor\u2019s roster with Roberts\u2019s inaugural Radnor Made collection. Most recently, Radnor staged Evolution in Form<\/a> within a 5,000-square-foot Sutton Tower penthouse, 70 floors above Manhattan, using Thomas Juul-Hansen\u2019s architecture as a framework for a more pared-back presentation of collectible design.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn Tower, the SHoP Architects supertall that now defines Downtown Brooklyn\u2019s skyline, continues that lineage on a nearly 6,000-square-foot, full-floor penthouse. With 12-foot ceilings and sweeping views across Manhattan and Brooklyn, the setting is conceived as both gallery and residence, allowing objects to be encountered not as isolated works on display but as elements within a lived environment.<\/p>\n

That commitment to material presence carries into the inaugural program: a solo presentation of new handwoven works by Los Angeles-based artist Rachel DuVall<\/a>. Her practice begins with the inherent grid of weaving\u2014the perpendicular meeting of warp and weft\u2014then pushes against its rigidity through the small irregularities of the hand. For this series, DuVall places a painted layer beneath the woven surface, allowing naturally dyed fibers in mossy green, indigo, and ochre to register against a colored ground rather than blank canvas.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Radnor has long championed textile-based work, and DuVall\u2019s stretched, framed pieces read as tactile paintings. Distributed throughout the penthouse\u2019s generous proportions, the textiles establish a quiet counterweight to the building\u2019s verticality, light, and expansive views. The installation also underscores how Clark\u2019s model has evolved over the past decade: each setting gives designers a particular architectural condition to respond to, while giving visitors a more intimate sense of how singular objects might shape the atmosphere of a home.<\/p>\n

For Clark, the milestone is as much about place as it is about program. Uniting the roles of retailer, gallery, and manufacturer, Radnor has spent the past 10 years building an international roster that ranges from Toshio Tokunaga and Lo\u00efc Bard to homegrown Brooklyn talent\u2014supporting designers who create singular, thoughtfully produced objects.<\/p>\n
