Opening: Archivia Books, design bookstore {yum}

I just heard word that on November 1, ArchiviaBooks, a bookstore holding more than 3,000 titles curated for designers, architects, collectors, and enthusiasts (that’s us!), will open in New York! The independent shop is the brainchild of co-founder and co-owner Cynthia Conigliaro, an alum of publishing house Rizzoli International. Evidently, Conigliaro designed the interior of the 800-square-foot space, located on New York’s Upper East Side with Maple wood and brushed stainless steel with Tuscan orange walls. Desk chairs are Eames, in white leather, and a Werner Panton chandelier glows from above. Sounds lovely. Can’t wait to check it out. The shop is located at 993 Lexington Avenue at 71st Street.
