This is our art. Watch the transformation of SOMMWHERE on Rivington Street, from @vmagazine old office space, to our 2200 sq ft, 2 story gallery + workshop. 

Experiences are ephemeral and we love the transitory flicker of our curated events. But building and designing space is what we do best. It’s lasting. We hope our philosophy of natural materials, timeless design (that finds inspiration from around the globe), and our obsession with artisanal craftsmanship and beauty is something you feel when you come to Sommwhere. 

Here’s a sneak peek into the process and people that build our dreams with us.

2025, Art During Wartime. 

This year we hosted 200+ gatherings across our three Lower East Side studios — art installations, activists, community leaders, brand launches, intimate dinners, performances, and nights that stretched long past what anyone planned.
We watched strangers become collaborators. We saw ideas move from moodboard to moment. We built tables that held conversations that mattered.
From emerging designers to cult favorite brands, from first-time founders to returning friends — every event left its mark.
What we’re most proud of? The community that keeps choosing to gather here.
Thank you to every artist, maker, client, creative, chef, brand, stylist, florist, photographer, server, guests and collaborators who helped bring our spaces to life.
This year, we’ll go bigger. More intention. More beauty. And more art in times of war.

Happy 40th to my one and only.  And true to your name sake, Umber: the celestial sky, today there is a rare cosmic planetary alignment in the skies, which hasn’t been experienced in thousands of years. You are out of this world- a truly rare and cosmic force. 

Sommwhere would be Nowhere without your brilliant mind, your ability to transform an idea into reality, your hilarious charm, your visionary leadership and your stamina to keep climbing. 

It’s Impossible to capture all the incredible memories we’ve adventured together, but here are a few of my favorites over the years we’ve been blessed to share. Happy birthday bubz! taken in Sommwhere by @sommwhere

In New York’s Lower East Side we gather for an intimate evening of Khayal with Ustaad Rauf Saami & Ustaad Urooj Saami, the living voice of the Delhi Gharana.

Under gentle light, they unfold the infinite shades of raag — microtonal, meditative, and quietly transcendent.

With New York Fashion Week, it’s the perfect time to highlight innovative designers we’ve hosted in our spaces, such as @the.peterdo — a Vietnamese-American fashion designer, former Creative Director of Helmut Lang and Owner + Creative Director of his eponymous label that launched in 2018. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He is known for transforming minimalist tailoring into a modern wardrobe staples—anchored in function, quality, and ethical production. He continues to define luxurious everyday clothing through his brand that is built on community and craftsmanship. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Earlier this year, Peter Do transformed 48 Ludlow into a week long cafe + pop up shop. The store featured one of ones, his quintessential, classic pieces and a limited edition collection, exclusively available at Sommwhere. From Japanese fabric development, to Italian shoemakers, to homemade Vietnamese treats, not a single detail was missed. The pop up was an incredibly special experience and a true success. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay tuned for who’s coming to Sommwhere for NYFW this fall.
