When extending their Trump Tower, 5th Avenue Flagship store Asprey sought façade systems befitting of both this prestigious address and the company’s established exclusive brand essence. Lord Foster reflected this desire with the clear lines and expansive areas of glass within the black, white and bronze façade conveying an aura of elegance.

seele provided both the external and internal façades, which due to their composition (2 panes of white VSG glass bonded together), element size (up to 6.6m x 2.4m) and elemental profile (both curved panels and doors were specified) resulted in a very challenging production process. The entire 3 storey external façade is supported by a bespoke steel structure designed and manufactured by Seele.
