Annex Giancarlo Valle’s Opening Night Draws a Crowd

On April 30, New York’s design cognoscenti gathered to toast the opening of Annex Giancarlo Valle, the interior designer’s first gallery space. Occupying the ground floor and basement of the Tribeca storefront formerly operated by Patrick Parrish, the 3,000-square-foot gallery encompasses a living room, foyer, dining room, library, and bar, each imbued with the whimsy and sense of discovery evocative of Valle’s interiors. Guests perused his most recent collection of furniture, lighting, and objects while enjoying Lallier champagne, LALO palomas, caviar, and canapés. Notables in attendance included Michael Bargo, Abby Bangser, Colin King, Beverly Nguyen, Andy Baraghani, Simone Bodmer-Turner, Rafael Prieto, Gabriel Hendifar, Joseph Altuzarra, Ulla Johnson, Billy Cotton, Adam Charlap Hyman, and more.
