There are pieces including a painting by Spencer Lewis from a series he has been working on for nearly a decade but has rarely shown Norwegian artist Ida Eklbad’s textural and brightly colored Tannin Stains a Noble River, 2020 and a sculptural piece custom-made for the space by Brian Belott. Rose and Abrous enlisted two friends-Anna Furney, who runs the Venus Over Manhattan gallery in NYC and designer/creative director Darren Romanelli, who is based in L.A.-to curate the restaurant’s art collection. “So we kind of feel like this is almost a piece of Daft Punk, and maybe we’ll be lucky enough to get a stop on the reunion tour.” “When we talked to Cédric before COVID about the DJ booth, Daft Punk was still together as a band, and this went on for so long that now they’re no longer a band,” says Rose.
This was designed by Cédric Hervet, the longtime creative director of Daft Punk, who has a furniture atelier in Normandy with his cousin. Parts and Labor Design custom-made all of the furniture and lighting in the space, except for a show-stopping sculptural mirrored DJ booth near the entrance.

Graduate Roosevelt Island began welcoming guests on June 1, with hospitality company Call Mom (The Spare Room at the Hollywood Roosevelt, Genghis Cohen, Winsome, and other spots across the country) at the helm of the restaurants and bars, which include the ground floor eatery Anything at All and the Panorama Room. But when Mayor Michael Bloomberg greenlit the Cornell Tech project back in 2011 as a way to stimulate the tech economy in the city, Graduate Hotels won the bid for a hotel alongside the campus. Even locals hardly ever make it to the island, which is often confused with Randall’s Island or Governor’s Island (both seeming to be more popular). Roosevelt Island isn’t typically at the top of many must-do lists for NYC. Situated among the low-rise buildings of the new Cornell Tech campus, the much taller, sleek white sustainable building by Scandinavian architects Snøhetta and New York’s Stonehill Taylor affords 360-degree unobstructed views of Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, with the lush green tip of Roosevelt Island in the foreground and the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge looming on one side. When the appropriately named Panorama Room opens its doors later this month, on the 18th floor of the first and only hotel on Roosevelt Island, it will offer a new way to see New York City.
