NEW YORK, USA – SEED Brklyn, a multi-retail, lifestyle, speakeasy café, and experiential art space for creatives by creatives, is proud to announce its grand opening will take place on Friday, October 21, 2022. Located in the iconic neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant (“Bed-Stuy”), SEED Brklyn plans to welcome the block–and the various communities across Brooklyn and New York City–with three days of public and private programming and events.
SEED Brklyn is founded by multidisciplinary, Brooklyn-based artist Christophe Roberts who, over the last five years, has developed the first-of-its-kind-space to nurture some of Brooklyn’s brightest and emerging creatives all while honoring the borough’s rich history of cultural architects that have influenced the world as we know it today.
“Brooklyn has been home to some of the most influential artists in the world and throughout significant moments in history across pop culture, fashion, sports, and more,” says Christophe Roberts, Founder & Partner of SEED Brklyn.
“SEED is paying homage to the borough of Brooklyn by not only honoring those very same artists and their legacies but also embracing and highlighting many of the emerging, creative talent coming out of Brooklyn and across the City.”
The dynamic space plans to become a community hub for creatives across Brooklyn, New York and the world with a unique approach to retail and a penchant for giving back to the block. Here are a few things that make this Bed-Stuy-based brand standout amongst the rest:
- A highly curated and expertly designed retail and e-commerce space embracing an international mix of top creative and cutting-edge designers in fashion, culture, and art.
- Innovation is at the forefront of everything for the brand. The store will feature concept spaces with sensorial elements including the following:
- The Oasis: An art experiential space and NFT gallery dedicated to immersive events featuring state-of-the-art technology for a unique art viewing experience.
- Greenhouse Cafe: Enjoy a hot cup of La Colombe coffee inside a plant-enshrined café. Guests can also purchase plants; vinyl collectibles from Funko and Super 7; books from Taschen and Rizzoli, and additional lifestyle products.
- The Garden: A retail space on the first floor and mezzanine featuring globally recognized and burgeoning brands including Martine Rose, Rains, Maharishi, Undercover, Against Medical Advice, 100 Wolves, 424, PRMVTO, Socialite Archive, and Jason Markk. Also located on the first floor of The Garden is a Japanese-inspired sneaker laundry for sneaker lovers to wash their favorite kicks in-store.
- Through their community efforts, SEED Brklyn also plans to continue giving back to the neighborhood with general classes regarding entrepreneurism, freelancing, and more. Most recently, the brand worked with a public school in the Bedstuy area to create a Zen Garden and will continue to work towards creating and cleaning up the outdoor spaces surrounding Bed-Stuy including community gardens and parks. In the future, SEED plans on partnering with local non-profits in Brooklyn.
To celebrate and give the community a chance to view and experience the unique space, the emerging multi-retailer is hosting a three-day grand opening:
