For upstart fine jewelry brand VRAI’s newest showroom in the Meatpacking District, interior and architecture studio?Cass Calder Smith?found inspiration in the world of fine art. It’s a fitting reference point given that Vrai’s collection of diamond high jewelry is created rather than mined—the ten-year-old brand has emerged as one of the most exciting in the world of lab-grown diamonds. To capture the art of Vrai’s engineered gemstones, the studio crafted display cases inspired by a series of untitled cubic?Donald Judd?sculptures?and finished with fine-art grade non-glare glass. A series of geometric light fixtures and tabletop display cases nod to gemstones’ inherently sculptural nature by emulating the shape of cut stones.
