Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library,
NYPL
New York, NY | 2021
In the spring of 2018, the New York Public Library (NYPL) announced its intention to commission a new and highly anticipated reading chair for the library system’s largest and busiest branch, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL). After a complete renovation, SNFL is the central circulating branch for NYPL and services more than 1.7 million visits annually with an annual circulation of 2 million items.
Working closely with NYPL and architect, Francine Houben of Mecanoo, Thos. Moser was able to translate the libraries design requests; to be durable, easy to clean and comfortable for patrons to enjoy for several hours – into a chair that is both functional and exquisitely made.
