Beginnings

Since 1985, TriBeCa evolved from a small bohemian artist colony to the most sought after place to live or have a business. Lance and Ivy weren’t just witnesses; they were pioneers.

Concept

They conceived their business plan and designed the space with the help of sculptor Charles Jones along with artist Steven Heller of Fabulous Furniture. The visual concept revolved around the 1930’s Art Deco barber chairs that were originally in The Waldorf Astoria Hotel Barber Shop.
