As part of Rarify’s upcoming exhibition Skidmore, Owings & Merrill: Hidden Furniture Masterpieces, you are invited to a private preview at LuisaViaRoma, 1 Bond Street.

This exhibition presents a rare collection of works designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill between 1950 and 1991—the first presentation devoted exclusively to the firm’s furniture and interior design legacy. Drawn entirely from Rarify’s archive, the show reveals a largely unseen body of work that helped define the visual language of corporate modernism in the second half of the twentieth century.

Spanning more than four decades, the exhibition brings together approximately 60 pieces of predominantly bespoke historic furniture alongside more than 100 archival artifacts, including original Ezra Stoller photography, furniture drawings, and rare personal objects such as Gordon Bunshaft’s architect’s seal and his Pritzker Architecture Prize invitation. Together, these works offer insight into SOM’s philosophy of “total design,” in which architecture, interiors, and furniture formed a unified whole.
