After launching his cutting-edge design gallery, the Future Perfect, in Brooklyn 17 years ago, David Alhadeff made a name for himself nurturing promising talents like Lindsey Adelman and Jason Miller. The gallery opened a Manhattan space in 2009 and a West Coast outpost in 2013, but this past year has been his busiest.

“A highlight was the opening of Casa Perfect New York,” he says of the dazzling West Village townhouse-cum-gallery filled with collectible wares.

The five-story dwelling is an ideal setting for shows—like Matthew Day Jackson’s celestial-inspired furniture collection—and doubles as a crash pad for Alhadeff when he’s in town. The gallery also teamed up with DDG to furnish a model unit in its striking new Tribeca building. Stay tuned for a new Casa Perfect Los Angeles. “It’s going to be huge!”
