HOSPITALITY

Centovini won the Travel + Leisure  Award for                           Best Restaurant Design of 2007.

Commissioned to create the interior for Centovini, an Italian wine bar, restaurant and wine shop, to be located directly next door to Moss Gallery, the principals of MOSS BUREAU became well grounded in the very particular demands of restaurant design.

Given the obvious synergy with Moss that the location afforded, Moss and Getchell showcased functional and decorative work from some of Italy’s most important producers. 

CHEFS CLUB

In 2014, Moss Bureau was contracted to consult on a new concept restaurant called CHEFS CLUB, a venture between FOOD & WINE magazine and Optasia, a Thai investment group. Our role was to provide a series of "curated moments" in a few highly strategic locations within the  space, which was designed by Rockwell Associates.

Wanting to convey ‘basic elements’ in cooking, Moss sourced and imported from Pakistan an enormous solid block of the world’s finest salt, which was then installed with the help of special art riggers, into a glass box suspended over a communal dining table.

COLLABORATIONS 

During the Moss years and subsequently, we have collaborated with a number of companies, manufacturers, developers, designers, to create a variety of projects. 

In 2011, working with Belgium 3D printing pioneer, Materialise, we performed an enormous intervention at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, installing printed pieces at eight places within the museum. Originally conceived at part of the London Design Festival, the installation was held over due to intense public interest. 

In 2013, again with Materialise, we did an exhibition at the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh as the opening night event of RAPID, the country's pre-eminent 3D printing convention. 

In October 2012, Phillips auction house held an auction called MOSS: DIALOGUES BETWEEN ART AND DESIGN. The Preview of the sale at Phillips, Park Avenue and 57th Street, was entirely curated by Moss.

Simon de Pury, Chairman, Phillips de Pury and Company: “Murray Moss is a great pioneer. He created and curated his own universe for this auction, one unlike any other. HIs vision was the common thread between the Giacometti torso, the Maarten Baas clock and the Robert Wilson drawings.”

These are views of the Preview.
