A Look Inside Accordion’s New NYC HQ

Private equity consultancy Accordion recently hired interior design firm BHDM Design to design their new office in New York City, New York.

“Upon entrance, guests are greeted by a warm wood and white palette, with undulating plains of vertical and horizontal wood slats. A custom desk and logo wall anchor the seating area, with handmade “accordion” artwork and furniture by Restoration Hardware, Jaipur, Neuvo and Ethan Allen.

Sit-stand desk areas by Knoll are ringed in light-washed white brick, with lighting by Coronet and ceiling “wood” felt by Turf.

Cohesive with the entire office, conference rooms reveal a plaid pattern with one-on-tone cerused oak clad TV walls and overhead acoustic felt by Designtex is criss-crossed with plaid, as well. The small conference rooms are decked with a custom lavender wallcovering from Standard Textile for an added pop of color. Corridor ceilings are strapped with white plaid and custom folded books as art are another play on the “Accordion” name.

Implementing comforts of home, the private offices received residential-inspired furnishings by Design with Reach, Andreau World, Noir and Arteriors, and playful music-inspired art in Accordion brand color purple from Jackson Fine Art and Clic Gallery.

The cafe is the clubhouse for the space for people to dine, work, and collaborate. A plaid wood-clad kitchen was conceived as a pochéd white oak bookend; wood covers all cabinets,appliances, doors and the island. The other end of the space is lined with floor to ceiling windows and a collection of both classic and custom lounge furniture. Overhead, pendant lights from Rejuvenation are offset against a warm, dark lavender ceiling.”
