Last week Ralph Pucci hosted the opening of a Deborah Turbeville photography collection and it featured a cross section of her work, mainly of her series at Versailles where she went into the storerooms and photographed furniture and statuary that was in storage.
I haven’t been in his showroom for a while, but it’s always such a thrill to be there. First just to love the space with its skylights, windows and amazing downtown views – it makes me wish I could have it as an apartment – and secondly to see how he has created a collection of designers so varied one from the other, but still with a strong design cohesiveness.
If you haven’t been to his showroom, you should make that a priority when you next find yourself in New York. To me it’s the epitomy of a high-end, modern furniture collection in New York.

Vincente,
I have the same dream! Every time I walk into Ralph’s showroom I think “I would love to live here” (furnishings included of course). As a friend and colleague of Ralph’s for years, he has astonished me with his ability to know what’s “next” on the horizon, how to present it and what will compliment it. His input with known and unknown artists and designers has been the key to the RPI success. Have you see Vladmir Kagan’s “Fiberglass Chair” premiered by Ralph at the Cooper Hewitt Museum? He’s always one step ahead…. if not two!
Regards,
b.
