The New York Times Building is the most significant new building designed for the NYC skyline in decades. Open to the sky, this garden of moss and birch trees create a garden like none other. Adjacent to the garden, a 378 seats auditorium provides a significant amenity to the tenants of the building 250 meters in the sky. PFG contract supplied and installed custom made armchairs for the auditorium as well as the conference rooms.
