Radnor has opened a new gallery within a full-floor penthouse at Brooklyn Tower in Downtown Brooklyn. Marking the company's 10th anniversary, the nearly 6,000-square-foot space continues founder Susan Clark's approach of presenting collectible design within residential environments. Designed as both a gallery and a residence, the penthouse features 12-foot ceilings and views across Brooklyn and Manhattan. The opening follows earlier Radnor exhibitions staged in residential settings including The Bryant, 180 East 88th Street, and Sutton Tower.
The inaugural exhibition features new handwoven works by Los Angeles artist Rachel DuVall. Created with naturally dyed fibres in shades of moss green, indigo, and ochre, the textiles incorporate painted surfaces beneath the woven structures. The works are installed throughout the penthouse alongside collectible furniture and design objects.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Residential Gallery Experiences
- Luxury penthouses styled as lived-in exhibitions create new models for collectible design discovery that blur the boundaries between home, showroom, and cultural venue.
- Collectible Textile Installations
- Handwoven works with natural dyes and layered painted surfaces signal growing potential for artisanal materials to become premium focal points in contemporary interiors.
- Real Estate Cultural Staging
- High-end towers using art and design programming as spatial storytelling platforms introduce differentiated value beyond amenities, views, and square footage.
Sectors Adopting This
- Luxury Real Estate
- Premium residential properties gain cultural relevance when full-floor homes function as immersive exhibition spaces connected to design, art, and lifestyle branding.
- Interior Design
- Curated combinations of furniture, textiles, and objects in authentic living environments expand how designers present material palettes and collectible pieces to affluent clients.
- Art Galleries
- Gallery formats embedded inside residences point to alternative exhibition channels that make art acquisition feel more contextual, intimate, and lifestyle-driven.
