‘The Dennis Freedman Collection’, curated by Evan Snyderman and James Zemaitis, is on view at R & Company's White Street location in New York, spanning from early 20th-century modernism to 21st-century contemporary design

Whatever spark first ignited collector Dennis Freedman’s love for design still burns fiercely in him today. When talking about the stories behind each of his pieces, he clutches his chest in adoration of the works, moved by feelings of 'the artistry' and 'the beauty' of them, of how 'extraordinary' and 'brilliant' each acquisition was and is.

Recycled aluminium screen by Fernando and Humberto Campana , ‘Arcangeli Metropolitani’ floor lamp by Ugo La Pietra , ‘Cinderella Table’ by Jeroen Verhoeven The pieces on view span pioneering works of early 20th-century modernism to 21st-century contemporary design, much of which is displayed for the first time in decades – including lamps that have never been illuminated since their original purchase, displayed now in their full glory and in fuller conversation with their collection peers.'It’s like a play,' Snyderman says, of how the pieces are curated with one another into a series of vignettes that divide the gallery space.
