Tucked away in the Mill Building in Williamsburg, at the end of a long corridor filled with shipping crates and Amazon boxes, is Duplex, a hidden gem of New York’s design scene. Somewhere between gallery and showroom, the 1,000-square foot white cube space hosts varying design exhibitions, often group shows that celebrate classic Italian design combined with contemporary creators, like Faye Toogood or Duccio Maria Gambi.
