New York’s Nolita is perhaps downtown’s coolest neighbourhood for good reason.
The district boasts many a trendy haunts, and now there’s a new address that just made its debut: French Cheese Board, a concept store that successfully merges art, design and food.
By combining a cheese shop with designer tableware and accessories, a culture lab where interactive experiences invite the public to take part in showcases and events, and a gallery to house art and design exhibitions such as Ich&Kar’s 'Pièces Montées', or 'Edible Architecture' series in which gastronomy and art become one, cheese connoisseurs and the curious alike can sample some of the finest fromage in town.
French duo Ich&Kar designed the interior of the French Cheese Board, with the intention to make the interior design a part of the education, as graphic murals, like the detailed map on cheese origins, have been designed as learning tools, giving the space a more playful feel.
