Discover The Townhouse, our home in New York City.

With its extraordinary history, eclectic cultural mix and outstanding architecture, New York  holds a special place in our heart. When we launched The Invisible Collection, our first meetings took place in this vibrant city: We knew right there and then that we were going to set roots here and build a home for The Invisible Collection.
That dream came true with the opening of The Townhouse, our new home on the Upper East Side of New York City. Located on 24 East 64th Street, the space house a selection of exceptional furniture and collectible pieces from our roster of contemporary design stars while also acting as a cultural hub for design aficionados and art collectors.
Designed in partnership with uber-talented Olivier Garcé & Clio Dimofski, the 1,752-square-foot space is defined by simple geometries and natural materials that complement the unique furniture pieces and objects on show. On the first floor, the Grand Salon is where we will present the solo shows of our favorite world-renowned designers; whilst the adjacent room overlooking the garden will welcome a rotating selection of our iconic pieces. The ground floor will feature an expansive library – created in collaboration with 7L- that will be a hub for like-minded design lovers to experience intimate discussions with industry leaders.
For the opening, we asked design duo Garcé & Dimofski to exhibit a selection of their signature pieces – available exclusively trhough us – paired with exquisite objects and artworks. We called it “La maison du collectionneur,” a place inspired by our idea of what a collector’s home looks like, where the overall feel and aesthetic mirror our ethos and eclectic vision of a design-forward lifestyle.

Today we unveil at Invisible Collection New York, the Jacques Doucet Legacy Brand  through a new collection of furniture. No need to introduce Jacques Doucet. His name alone conjures a world of culture and aesthetic influence, celebrated in museums across the globe and revered by the likes of Saint Laurent and Lagerfeld. Now, his legendary taste is being channeled through an exclusive furniture collection that reintroduces his unique aesthetic in the form of exquisite designs that merge historical reverence with a modern twist.

Designed by Garcé & Dimofski, the collection encapsulates Doucet’s love for refined craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Beautifully staged in our New York Gallery, each piece evokes an aspect of Doucet’s life, taste, or friendships, from his luxurious salons on Rue Spontini to his avant-garde residence at Studio Saint James in Neuilly. It is not only a homage but also an invitation to explore Doucet’s universe, embodying what Garcé & Dimofski describe as “the beginning of a long conversation with Doucet.”

Alongside our star designers, we invited an array  of specialty creators from Chanel’s Maisons d’Art such as Lesage Intérieurs, Studio MTXGoossens, and Lemarié to aid in showcasing the French savoir-faire & superior craftsmanship. This collaboration will shine a light on Chanel’s specialists – long-established craft maisons whose métiers span the most exquisite crafts in haute couture.

Furthermore, we are thrilled to announce a special collaboration –  the first of its kind- with famed Librairie 7L. Founded by Karl Lagerfeld in 1999, and acquired by Chanel in March 2021, the 7L Parisian bookshop has been invited to introduce the 7L book curation service at The Townhouse: a custom, tailored book selection for clients’ homes based on their topics of interest. Housed on the ground floor and displayed on custom bookshelves in wood and ceramic designed by Garcé & Dimofski, a specially curated  book collection by the 7L team is now on show.

The Townhouse will be open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 am to 6 pm. We look forward to welcoming you to our home in New York!

Jacques Doucet

Few men have left such an indelible mark on the imaginations of art patrons and aesthetes. Jacques Doucet was the archetype of the modern collector, with a love of culture as vast as his curiosity and flair for the new. As a couturier, he mentored Paul Poiret and Madeleine Vionnet while dressing celebrities and heiresses. As a collector, he amassed the most legendary trove of rarities and masterpieces from the 18th century to the avant-garde, including Picasso, Klee, Matisse, and de Chirico, while commissioning furniture from Eileen Gray and Pierre Legrain, who decorated his last home, the fabled Studio Saint James. Now, his legacy lives on through a furniture collection available exclusively through Invisible Collection.
