Designers Jim Aman, John Meeks, Kathryn Scott, Michael Arguello, Geoffrey Bradfield, Tyler Pankratz and Charles Pavarini were among the 500 attendees who gathered to celebrate the opening of Newel’s new showroom last month. Newel, open in New York since the 1930s, is expanding with the new space, which was designed and staged by Aman and Meeks Design.
“I was more than pleased with the fabulous turnout of friends, family and supporters at our Grand Opening. All of these individuals have made Newel what it is today! We also had new faces join us in what was an incredible evening of laughter and discovery. My whole team is thrilled to be entering this exciting new chapter in our history in such a beautiful space,” shared Jake Baer, CEO.
