The Exhibition
We’re proud to share the opening of CHROMA, a fantastical multi-sensory design experience curated by our Creative Director Nadja Stäubli, presented by the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York as part of NYCxDESIGN. Located in the stunning Atrium at WSA 180, CHROMA brings together Swiss excellence and playful curiosity — with rugs, sculptures, textiles, and objects you’re actually meant to touch.
The installation celebrates Swiss craftsmanship, featuring newly created interactive sculptures designed by Nadja and produced by the Brooklyn-based design studio TWOSEVEN, alongside works by atelier oï, Röthlisberger, USM Modular Furniture, Jakob Schlaepfer, Sula, and more.
This is not just an exhibition — it’s a full-body invitation to connect through color, movement, and design. Sula and its Creative Director Nadja Stäubli creatively developed, curated and co-planned the exhibition.

Opening Night Celebration
On May 15, we kicked off CHROMA with a vibrant evening of drinks, music, and design encounters. Guests explored the installation, met the creatives behind it, and danced into the night with a live DJ set by Sebastiao Loopes.
Panel with Swissnex
The following day, a thought-provoking panel was hosted in collaboration with Swissnex, diving into interdisciplinary approaches in design. Designers, artists, and innovators came together to reflect on how collaboration shapes creativity and craft today.
Live Performance
NYC-based dancer Caroline Dartey (Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater) brought CHROMA to life with two powerful, site-specific performances. Her movement responded to color, light, and space.
