Powerhouse Women in Architecture and Design Gather to Celebrate Women’s History Month with Cultured, Stellar Works and Ruinart – Cultured Magazine

Last Friday, Cultured magazines senior editor, Elizabeth Fazzare, hosted a private breakfast at Stellar Workss new showroom in Chinatown, New York in celebration of Womens History Month. Alongside Stellar Works and Ruinart, Fazzare gathered an impressive group of women to honor their work in architecture, design and the arts. Notable guests included Arielle Assouline-Lichten of Slash Objects, Lora Appleton of the Female Design Council and lighting designer Anna Karlin alongside many other architects, artists, designers and writers.

Stellar Works is a Shanghai-based furniture design brand that represents the rebirth of tradition, fusing long-standing Asian cultures and aesthetics with the light of the present and modernity. The lively brunch was hosted in the companys first permanent United States showroom on Canal Street in Manhattan, in a spacious 4,000-square-foot space that was the former home to Pearl Paint and holds the companys ever-growing furniture collection and designer collaborations. It also is home to the first-ever physical space for the Brooklyn-based wallcoverings company, Calico Wallpaper.

Upon arrival, guests mingled over perfectly chilled Ruinart Blanc des Blancs champagne, coffee and tea. The powerhouse women socialized in the Stellar Works showroom in Chinatown, formerly the home of Pearl Paint. Once seated, guests were treated to a beautiful brunch by Chef Catherine Rojas. Menu highlights included avocado toast on bread from local She Wolf Bakery, spinach and goat cheese frittatas as well as an assortment of fresh-out-the-oven pastries and scones. Brunch was served on dishware by Departo, a home goods company based in New York and born of a collaboration between Stellar Works and Yabu Pushelberg.

Fazzare took a moment to speak to the group about the importance of building a strong community of women in the long-standing male-dominated fields of architecture and design while Stellar Works managing director Andrew Yang shared a few words about celebrating designers in their beautiful new space.Organizing this brunch was the perfect way to honor the successes of every woman at the table.
