The under-the-radar CY Gallery has become quite the destination for collectible design since opening in Little River earlier this year. Owners Cristina Rojas and Yair Mayo founded the “hybrid creative space” to, as they put it, “act as a bridge between design styles and sensibilities from across decades.” Their latest effort is certainly honest to that mission. An Everyday Objects Collection is an ongoing exhibition with highlights that include a book holder from Spanish ceramicist Xavier Mañosa, Mutant Hooks by Serban Ionescu, and the modular Pillow sofa by Muller Van Severen (all of which are for sale). “The exhibition reflects our interest in creating dialogue between contemporary and historic pieces, suggesting that the line between the everyday and the collectible is far thinner than we often assume,” says Mayo. “When placed together, even the most familiar objects take on new resonance, each form amplifying the presence of the other.”
