French luxury retailer Printemps, founded in Paris in 1865 and recognized for its luxury fashion, beauty and lifestyle offerings, selected the landmark One Wall Street building for its first permanent U.S. flagship. Throughout the store Bendheim’s specialty architectural glass is used.
Located within the One Wall Street building, the building was designed by architect Ralph Walker and completed in 1931. Bendheim low-iron etched architectural glass creates softly illuminated feature walls that add a visual texture throughout the flagship. The custom installation showcases the versatility of Bendheim's TurnKey glass wall cladding system, that was adapted to meet the project's unique architectural and lighting requirements.
“Projects like this require an extraordinary level of coordination because virtually every finish was custom designed,” says Project Executive at Schimenti Construction Company Dan Motill. “The Bendheim team worked closely with the design team to adapt the glass wall system to the project’s specific aesthetic and lighting goals.
