Patrick Naggar: MOMENTUM

Patrick Naggar’s Momentum explores design as art, occupying the space between research and experimentation, where artistic expression merges with functionality, allowing for storytelling with a symbolic dimension. The series draws from two recurring inspirations and design vocabulary in his work; the Mediterranean Sea and the sky.

Within the new Celeste Coffee Table, three bronze disks depict the North Sea, South Sea and an Eclipse, supporting the silver-plated bronze top and acting as the base of the piece. A console rests on bronze hourglass legs and supports a stone top, creating a sculptural balance between weight and fluidity. Hand-sculpted Plasterglass lighting evokes floral forms with a twist, projecting light and shadow in playful movement.

These works reflect Naggar’s ongoing curiosity for exploration of new materials and techniques to create contemporary forms that speak to majestic, eternal themes like the cosmos.

Gail LeBoff: GLACIER GIRLS

Glacier Girls is Gail LeBoff’s photography series a decade in the making. Glacier Girls exposes the shared vulnerabilities between the young skater and the Arctic landscape, featuring simple compositions of singular figure skaters layered within stark, natural environments that belie the extraordinary conditions LeBoff encounters in pursuit of her images.

LeBoff’s early experiences as an aspiring competitive figure skater, along with a hearing loss from birth, inform the quiet sense of isolation that runs through her work. She describes “Glacier Girls” as deeply personal, shaped by her memories of childhood and the lost dream of becoming a figure skater. The idea for “Glacier Girls” evolved intuitively, by happenstance, when she saw a young skater, at Rockefeller Skating Rink, fall and try to regain her balance. “I was captivated by her struggle and the casting shadow of her body on the ice,” LeBoff explains. LeBoff first travelled to Iceland in 2011 in search of landscapes to pair with her existing images of New York figure skaters, a process reflected in works including Nordic Pink and Laki Lava Girl, where she often waited days for the precise weather conditions needed to capture the final image.

Rebecca Moses: ELEGANCE IN SUSPENSION

Rebecca Moses’ Elegance in Suspension features a series of paintings depicting women who occupy and move through spaces with certainty, even as those environments remain unresolved. The figures in the paintings – precisely rendered and meticulously styled in black – feel fully realized and grounded. The interiors around them are abstracted into soft tonal fields and modular forms, suggesting spaces shaped by thought and memory rather than literal architecture, acting as emotional landscapes that resist definition. 

The paintings explore the tension between control and openness, precision and ambiguity. Within these works, elegance is not an aesthetic gesture, but a steady state of presence, one that holds firm even as the world around it shifts.
