The former New York City studio building of Andy Warhol, known as The Factory, will now house a Uniqlo store. The Japanese fast-fashion brand is opening its seventh New York location on the ground floor of 860 Broadway, the same building where Warhol worked from 1974 to 1984. The brand is leveraging the site's artistic history by selling exclusive merchandise featuring Warhol's imagery to promote the opening.
La « Tavolo con ruote » de Gae Aulenti : une icône radicale comme sur des roulettes
Gae Aulenti’s 1980 'Tavolo con ruote' (Table with wheels) remains a definitive icon of postmodern design, characterized by its radical simplicity. Created during Aulenti's tenure as artistic director of FontanaArte, the piece features a thick glass slab bolted to four industrial trolley wheels, a concept inspired by the factory carts used to transport glass. The table's enduring popularity is highlighted by its recent corporate history, as FontanaArte was acquired by Nemo Lighting in 2024 and subsequently integrated into the Spanish group Kettal in early 2026.
