Multisensory experiences

The design gallery’s founder Nacho Polo anticipates design stores that appeal to all the senses

‘One of the trends we’ll continue to see going into 2024 is the return to multisensory experiences. Our new gallery in Tribeca [pictured above] invites our clients to have a personalised, welcoming visit that feels like home and appeals to their senses– sight, touch, smell and sound. There are other people in the industry that are starting to tap into that as well. We always have bossa nova music playing in the background, which helps create a very cosy, warm, welcoming environment, and we started incorporating our personal contemporary art collection in our gallery, as everybody loved seeing the art as a backdrop to the collections that we represent. We’re also in the process of creating a signature scent.’ studiotwentyseven.com
