1stdibs To Launch New Manhattan Showroom

The Company Will Relocate From Its Present Showroom Space
Later This Year To Open A New Design Destination

July 20, 2018

1stdibs, an online seller of antiques, will be opening an enhanced New York showroom, relocating from its first-ever brick-and-mortar concept at the New York Design Center at 200 Lexington to The Terminal Stores building located at 271 11th Avenue. The new showroom will make its debut in January 2019.
The 44,000-square-foot space will be accessible to both the design trade and consumers, bringing the 1stdibs experience to life through more than 50 dealer spaces, special events, and exhibitions.
“The new showroom space signals how we’re evolving as a company, and it is important that our offline experience is tightly integrated with our online experience. For instance, the new showroom will offer the ability for shoppers to scan an item to instantly display that item on their smart phone, see detailed product information, and save that item for future viewing,” said David Rosenblatt, CEO of 1stdibs. “Overall, we’re focused on providing valuable resources, online and off, to the design community, and the new showroom supports that goal.”
What’s more, the new showroom will offer on-platform benefits to designers, including trade rewards, buyer protection, and 1stdibs-facilitated shipping.
