The Metropolitan Home house—a pop-up intended to showcase interior design brands—will open its doors in the fall, and for this year's iteration (last year the promotion was in Los Angeles), the magazine has joined forces with Showtime Networks. Taking over a privately owned five-story townhouse in Gramercy Park, the shelter magazine and the cable network will open the Metropolitan Home Showtime House on September 9. Creating the environments inside are seven designers—including Vicente Wolf, Jamie Drake, and Laura Kirar—who will take inspiration from the network's shows to furnish and decorate each room.
Like Delta Airline's Sky360 lounge, the house will be offered for private events in the evening starting from September 12 and running until October 24.
In addition to areas inspired by shows like Dexter, Weeds, The Tudors, and The L Word, the site will also feature an on-site kitchen, two public bathrooms, a back garden, and a terrace. The venue is available on a first-come, first-serve basis, and the host planner will be reponsible for acquiring the necessary permits, insurance, staffing, security, catering, and public relations. Deidre West, Metropolitan Home's marketing manager, is the booking contact: 212.767.5541.
The Metropolitan Home Showtime House will also be open for public tours between September 13 and October 26, with proceeds from the ticket sales going to the Happy Hearts Fund.
