The design pairs exposed concrete columns and visible HVAC with aged wood plank flooring and custom “bomb” pendant lights. Natural leather and textured fabric seating add warmth, creating a look that feels both refined and relaxed. Clean-lined furniture, simple table settings, and a calm, neutral palette reinforce the understated aesthetic associated with Barbuto in Greenwich Village.

Boom Burst – Art Omi Design Gallery
This deceptively simple exploration of expansion and release established a spatial logic that informed both the gallery’s exterior expression and its interior choreography. The building appears to breathe: a precise geometric form gradually unfolds into a more fluid interior, guiding visitors through a carefully calibrated sequence of compression and release.
