GreenRow launched a collaboration with the New York Botanical Garden, drawing on NYBG's archival botanical illustrations, including works from the LuEsther T. Mertz Library Rare Book Collection. The GreenRow x NYBG collection focuses on home textiles and décor, spanning wallpaper, bedding, rugs, tabletop items, linens and decorative accessories, with several hand-painted and handwoven pieces anchoring its vintage-inspired aesthetic.
Available at GreenRow's SoHo flagship, online at GreenRow.com and in a limited run at the NYBG Shop in the Bronx, the collection features responsibly sourced materials including linen, cotton and recycled fibers. A launch event at GreenRow SoHo was scheduled for June 10.
GreenRow shows how archive-driven design collaborations can extend a cultural institution's storytelling reach while grounding home goods in authentic artistic heritage.
